RE: How to have a DB specific PASSWD file?

Ruth,
Thanks for ur reply.
My doubt is, in general, Oracle looks at the default location($ORACLE_HOME/dbs) for the password file. How to specify the database specific password file at this default location as we don't have any such
options in the syntax.

Can I conclude that you have to set ORACLE_SID before creating a passwordfile for specific database.

I am also expecting some response for my second issue(automatic creation of passwd file).

thank you,
