Soo,
I’m going head first into the oracle db world. I was trying to create an spfile from the pfile and of course it didn’t work:
1 2 3 4 5 | SQL> CREATE spfile FROM pfile="/oracle/app/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs/initORCL.ora"; CREATE spfile FROM pfile="/oracle/app/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs/initORCL.ora" * ERROR AT line 1: ORA-00972: identifier IS too LONG |
The reason is simple enough, you have to use single quotes instead of double quotes. But it took me a while to find out this so here it is for all other beginners.
1 2 3 4 5 | SQL> CREATE spfile FROM pfile='/oracle/app/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs/initORCL.ora'; FILE created. SQL> |
