One way to check the SID of Oracle database is by using the following methods:

  1. Utilize a command-line tool: open command prompt or terminal window, use the following command to connect to the database and query the SID.
sqlplus / as sysdba

Next, execute the following SQL query to retrieve the SID:

SELECT instance_name, status FROM v$instance;
  1. Utilizing Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM): Open the OEM console, select the target database in the “Database” section, and then locate the SID on the overview page.
  2. Utilize SQL development tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer, to connect to the database and execute the following SQL statement to query the SID.
SELECT instance_name, status FROM v$instance;

You can retrieve the instance name (SID) by using SQL query statements from the data dictionary view v$instance.
