Hi!
I am continously getting error in creating the database

At command prompt I am giving the following command :-

oradim -NEW -SID dtest -INTPWD dtest -STARTMODE AUTO

SQL> startup nomount pfile=3D"e:\Oracle\admin\dtest\pfile\init.ora";
ORACLE instance started.

CREATE DATABASE dtest

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01991: invalid password file 'e:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE\PWDsbasm.ORA'



I have created all the directories req for this...and also a password =
file=20
for this exits in the path e:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE\PWDdtest.ORA'

I fail to understand why is it taking the password file of my existing =
database i.e. SBASM. ????

Can anyone help me in this regard.

Thanks
Yan.
