Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> ORA-03113 error when connecting to Oracle
Hi all,
I am working with an Oracle database in a Solaris machine. If I try to
start SQL*Plus, I get the error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
(I am trying to enter as user scott)
The name of my database instance is CSYS (that's the value of my ORACLE_SID environment variable).
But if I try to enter to SQL*Plus with the command:
> sqlplus scott_at_csys
then everything goes fine.
My question is: why do I have to specify the name of the database?
If I log on the machine with a different account, then I can enter SQL*Plus without specifying the database name. I am trying to discover what's different with this two accounts, so one can enter without specifying "@csys" but not the other one. Any ideas?
Thans a lot
