Thread: Instance of Database

Hello,

I Have sevral databases running.
But before i start any new database need to know the instance of database running presently?
Can anyone let me know the command for that?

Use TSNPING to check for the status of all the database instances.

Select 'Hostname : ' || host_name
,'Instance Name : ' || instance_name
,'Started At : ' || to_char(startup_time,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') stime
,'Uptime : ' || floor(sysdate - startup_time) || ' days(s) ' ||
trunc( 24*((sysdate-startup_time) -
trunc(sysdate-startup_time))) || ' hour(s) ' ||
mod(trunc(1440*((sysdate-startup_time) -
trunc(sysdate-startup_time))), 60) ||' minute(s) ' ||
mod(trunc(86400*((sysdate-startup_time) -
trunc(sysdate-startup_time))), 60) ||' seconds' uptime
from sys.v_$instance;
