More that one logical-name for database in parameter file (.pf)?

Question

I have a parameter file (.pf) with different databases to connect. The databases have multiple aliases therefore I want to set the logical names of each database.

-db physical_database_name
-ld [Logical name/alias]
- [...]

When I set more -ld parameters than one, it takes only the last one. How is it possible to set more than one alias in the Parameter file (.pf)?

Answer 1

Additional aliases can only be set through code.

What you could do is to use the -param Startup Parameter.

-param dbname1=alias1,alias2|dbname2=alias3,alias4

And process this string based SESSION:PARAMETER in your startup procedure.
