    Hi all!

    Query:

    Working on Oracle v8i 8.1.6.0.0 with OS NT.

    I am receiving the following error as under:

    sql>conn internal/oracle@rman
    Connected.
    SQL>
    SQL> grant dba,sysdba,sysoper to sysman;
    grant dba,sysdba,sysoper to sysman
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01996: GRANT failed: password file
    'D:\Oracle\Oracle8i\DATABASE\PWDrman.ORA' is full

    Thanks & Regards,

    Amit.

    the error is clear, password file is full you have to recreate the password file with orapwd and increment entries parameter

    When you create Password file with orapwd utility, you specify entries=n which means the maximum number of entries it can take. Once it is full, there is no way you can grant additional sysdba/ sysoper roles.
    You have to delete and recreate password file. This time be sure to have enough entries specified so that it can accomodate future anticipated growth. Deleting and recreating password file is risky.
