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. Received on Thu Apr 24 2003 - 11:14:08 CDT
