Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: How to name the password?
The password file is made up of two parts, the prefix orapw and the <sid>. You
must make sure the sid's case matches that of the environment variable
ORACLE_SID.
For example, if the environment variable ORACLE_SID=TEST and the password
file is name is orapwtest then you will encounter the ORA-01990. To correct
the problem, rename the passwordfile to PWDTEST and then restart the database.
