    Very Odd, Sqlplus Is Not Working

    Hi all,

    I have two Oracle home (8.1.7, 9.2.0) running on the windows 2000 server. when I set the environment and try to create the database for the 9i version. When I issue:

    SQL> connect sys/blah as sysdba

    I got the ORA-03113, end of file communication


    but when I used

    SVRMGRL> connect sys/blah as sysdba
    Connected.


    I did set the environment:

    C:\SET ORACLE_SID=TEST


    C:\SET ORACLE
    TEST


    what's going on??? this is odd, I never have this problem before.

    Looks like your ORACLE_HOME is pointing to 8.1.7
    Set the ORACLE_HOME to 9.2.0 and try again.
    OCP 7.3,8.0,8i,9i

    Try set TNS_ADMIN to Ora92 network\admin (for example set TNS_ADMIN=C:\Ora92\network\admin) and start SQL Plus from Ora92\bin

    tns_admin has got nothing to do with starting this database

    he did set ORACLE_SID, therefore not going over the network using net8

    read the concepts guide.

    As the other guy said it looks like your environemtn is a bit funny as svrmgrl doesnt exist in 9i, so give us the output of "set"

    You will have to either use the Oracle Home Selector or write a batch file that changes your PATH environment variable to the correct home...

    9i.bat

    PATH=c:\oracle\ora91\bin;%PATH%

    8i.bat

    PATH=c:\oracle\ora81\bin:%PATH%

    as I said, I have done this about over 10 times and I never experience this problem. Any way, I did change the Oracle home to 9i and I did set ORACLE_SID= test and when I type set ORACLE, it had the right environment there. the problem still existed and it's only work on SVRMGRL and if I changed the primary back to 8i, it worked with SQLPLUS and SVRMGRL.

    any thought???

    true, SVRMGRL doesn't exist on 9i; however, SVRMGRL will work b/c 8i still exist on the box. anyway, I found the problem comment out SQL.AUTHENTICATION_services=NTS and every thing is ok.

    thanks dave

    You're missing a fundamental point. You shouldn't be using svrmgrl to startup and shutdown your 9i database.

    Can you post your environment variables? Use the following...

    c:\> set > c:\temp\env.txt

    and then paste the contents into a post.
