Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Problem upgrading from Windows 2000 Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Solved the "sqlplus" problem - it wasn't anything to do with setting =
ORACLE_SID (tried that - didn't work). The trick is to set the "LOCAL" =
system variable to the name of the required instance. Setting a system =
variable made it permanent, but the same affect could be achieved =
temporarily in a DOS window by typing "set LOCAL=3Dxxxxxx" before typing =
"sqlplus".
Another thing I never knew (and didn't know I didn't know)!
That still hasn't solved the main problem with Database Upgrade = Assistant, alas...
Cheers,
Paul

Paul,
This scenario below is because the sid is not set.
If you set oracle_sid=3Dxxxx, and then simply type sqlplus
and enter username/password when prompted, you will not
get ORA-12560.=20
The other servers must have oracle_sid set.
HTH....../Bob =20
.......... peculiarity on this server that, if I open a DOS
window and simply type "sqlplus", then I'm asked for a username and
password, which I supply, and then I get an error message ORA-12560:
TNS:protocol adapter error.
If however I type "sqlplus myuserid/mypasswd_at_DLIB", ,,,,,,,,,,
I suspect=20
=20
