Maybe it is time to open an Indian language forum.

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error occurred

Cause of above error:-Oracle classify this as a ‘generic protocol adapter error’. In my experience it indicates that Oracle client does not know what instance to connect to or what TNS alias to use.

Possible Remedies:If running on the server (or workstation) that is running the database (i.e. if the database is local to the machine) then try explicitly setting ‘ORACLE_SID’. e.g.

set ORACLE_SID=<sid>

and then try again.

e.g if DB name is ORCL then on windows.

set ORACLE_SID=orcl

And if it is linux o/s then

export ORACLE_SID=orcl

better try to connect like as below

D:/>sqlplus "sys/<password>@sid as sysdba"

suppose password is strongbullin and orcl is sid(database name)

D:/>sqlplus "sys/strongbullin@orcl as sysdba"
