ORA-01506: missing or illegal database name

Hi Gurus/Experts,
I am implementing dataguard for digaster consideration for my primary database mydb. I have changed some initilization parameter for this implementation and while doing this when I changed a paraneter like below:
SQL> alter system set db_file_name_convert="'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/mydb_un', '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl_un'" scope=spfile;
System altered.
Because this parameter is static so I have restart my database with startup force option. But I am getting belwo error.:
SQL> startup force
ORA-01506: missing or illegal database name
Below is my entries in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs location :
hc_mydb.dat initmydb.ora init.ora lkMYDB lkMYDB_UN orapwmydb spfilemydb.ora

Hi Mseberg,
As of now I do not have standby INIT file and one which INIT file which I am showing here that's for my primary database i.e mydb. I would like to let you know I am planning to implement dataguard where mydb would be my primary database ad orcl would be my stabd by database. Before creating standby database I am preparing all initilization parameter in my primary database.
I have started my database with SYSDBA but still getting the same error. Please check below:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? mydb
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 is /u01/app/oracle

ORA-01935: missing user or role name

Hello. I'm trying to change a users password, logged in as SYS. I'm using the script:
ALTER USER dross IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
Also tried:
ALTER USER "dross" IDENTIFIED BY "1111";
ALTER USER 'dross' IDENTIFIED BY '1111';
ALTER USER 'dross' IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
ALTER USER "dross" IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
Any suggestions on what I could do?

DB Link , ORA - 02083: illegal database name character '-'

Hi,
I work for an integration company and right now we are putting together an application that is moving a small subset of data from one db to another. I have created a db link to move the data. However, when I try to compile the procedure, that moves the data, into the database, the compile fails and I am given the following error:
ORA-02083: database name has illegal character -.
The instances Im developing/testing to are on the same machine, which is a Solaris X86 machine and the Oracle version is 8.1.7.
Now 2 things. If I do a simple query like the one below using SQL*PLUS, the link works fine.
Select sysdate
From dual@<dblink_name>;
The other thing is the domain name does in fact have a - in it, but I have removed the domain name from everyplace I can thing of from Oracle; i.e. tnsnames, init.ora file, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Roger Christophel

and set this parameter with its correct value.
DB_DOMAIN
Parameter type
String
Syntax
DB_DOMAIN = domain_name
Default value
There is no default value.
Parameter class
Static
Range of values
Any legal string of name components, separated by periods and up to 128 characters long (including the periods). This value cannot be NULL.
Real Application Clusters
You must set this parameter for every instance, and multiple instances must have the same value.
In a distributed database system, DB_DOMAIN specifies the logical location of the database within the network structure. You should set this parameter if this database is or ever will be part of a distributed system. The value consists of the extension components of a global database name, consisting of valid identifiers, separated by periods. Oracle Corporation recommends that you specify DB_DOMAIN as a unique string for all databases in a domain.
This parameter allows one department to create a database without worrying that it might have the same name as a database created by another department. If one sales department's DB_DOMAIN is JAPAN.ACME.COM, then their SALES database (SALES.JAPAN.ACME.COM) is uniquely distinguished from another database with DB_NAME = SALES but with DB_DOMAIN = US.ACME.COM.
If you omit the domains from the name of a database link, Oracle expands the name by qualifying the database with the domain of your local database as it currently exists in the data dictionary, and then stores the link name in the data dictionary. The characters valid in a database domain name are: alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), and number sign (#).

Ora-01506 no database name

11.2.0.2.0 windows 2008 RAC
restored a prod rac to a dev rac, need to rename. created a pfile with my db name to my old name, started single instance, ran nid, updated the controlfiles successfully, stopped the database, updated my pfile to have DB_NAME to my new name, started the database, all good.
Create the spfile on ASM to I can restart my RAC, restart the database (still in single instance on 1 node) , I can see in the alert log its reading the newly created spfile, but I then get an error.

I verified its using the right spfile by deleting before creating it on ASMCMD. ie, I delete it, run the "create spfile..." and then I see it recreating.

every days a school day. In this case Im in detention. Hours I spent at this and of course I get the answer 20 minutes after I post the question here.
the pfile in the default ORACLE_HOME\database has reference to my spfile
If I run a create spfile from pfile it uses the contents of that pfile, NOT the pfile I started the database with. To use that pfile I need to path the pfile I started it with

Hi ,
The error shows it is waiting for the Logfile. The Integrated extract mainly needs of the availability of two things.
1. Archivelogs.
2. Trail Files.
Both should be retained to the needed / required level.
Please execute the below query and check the status of the Extract / Capture process.
The below query displays the information of each capture process in a database.,
COLUMN CAPTURE_NAME HEADING 'Capture|Name' FORMAT A7
COLUMN PROCESS_NAME HEADING 'Capture|Process|Number' FORMAT A7
COLUMN SID HEADING 'Session|ID' FORMAT 9999
COLUMN SERIAL# HEADING 'Session|Serial|Number' FORMAT 9999
COLUMN STATE HEADING 'State' FORMAT A20
COLUMN TOTAL_MESSAGES_CAPTURED HEADING 'Redo|Entries|Evaluated|In Detail' FORMAT 9999999
COLUMN TOTAL_MESSAGES_ENQUEUED HEADING 'Total|LCRs|Enqueued' FORMAT 9999999999
SELECT c.CAPTURE_NAME,
       SUBSTR(s.PROGRAM,INSTR(s.PROGRAM,'(')+1,4) PROCESS_NAME,
       c.SID,
       c.SERIAL#,
       c.STATE,
       c.TOTAL_MESSAGES_CAPTURED,
       c.TOTAL_MESSAGES_ENQUEUED
FROM V$STREAMS_CAPTURE c, V$SESSION s
WHERE c.SID = s.SID AND
        c.SERIAL# = s.SERIAL#;
Also run this query to check, if the capture is waiting for which logfile.,
COLUMN CONSUMER_NAME HEADING 'Capture|Process|Name' FORMAT A15
COLUMN SOURCE_DATABASE HEADING 'Source|Database' FORMAT A10
COLUMN SEQUENCE# HEADING 'Sequence|Number' FORMAT 99999
COLUMN NAME HEADING 'Required|Archived Redo Log|File Name' FORMAT A40
SELECT r.CONSUMER_NAME,
       r.SOURCE_DATABASE,
       r.SEQUENCE#,
       r.NAME
FROM DBA_REGISTERED_ARCHIVED_LOG r, DBA_CAPTURE c
WHERE r.CONSUMER_NAME = c.CAPTURE_NAME AND
        r.NEXT_SCN      >= c.REQUIRED_CHECKPOINT_SCN;
The above query clearly shows for which logfile the Extract / Capture process is waiting. Check if that logfile is available in your system.

Ora-02084 : database name is missing a component

hai all,
i am a newbee to oracle. i am struggling to create a database, any help would be highly appreciated. i have installed Oracle 9i on a RH8.0 system. but while creating database through DBCA, i am getting the error message, "ORA -02084:Oracle database name is missing a component". i ahve gone through the documentation and found that probelm is with ORACLE_SID. i have set all the environment variables(including ORACLE_SID, DB_NAME AND DB_DOMAIN) according to the documentaion and created swap files, temporary space etc.i have set all the environment variables in .bash_profile in ORACLE_HOME.
i have stopped DBCA and gone through the files. i could see that the database is actually created, with initXXX.ora.441414312 file. but once when i started the database with nomount and checked, i could find the control files missing.
thanks in advance,
ramesh.

Probably you are missing value for db_name (or missing parameter db_name) in parameter file.
Note you can still create db manualy (without DBCA).

Oracle 11G and SqlDataSource: 'ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number'

[Resolved - http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2366331&#2366331]
I've created a short video to explain my problem with Oracle and SqlDataSource. If you'd rather watch than read, go see the video at http://www.kencox.ca/video/oracelandsqldatasource.html.
I'm trying to do some extremely simple drag and drop development in Visual Web Developer 2008 with the Oracle 11g database and ODP.NET. According to Oracle, "The data provider can be used with the latest .NET Framework 3.5 version. "
The SELECT statement works fine, but any attempt to use UPDATE via the SQLDataSource UpdateCommand nets me the infamous 'ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number' error.
I wouldn't mind using one of my MSDN Support Incidents to have Microsoft take a look at this issue, but I'm not sure the problem is Microsoft's. It seems like Oracle is doing a poor job in its Visual Studio integration.
Question: Has anyone successfully used an UpdateCommand statement in SQLDataSource against Oracle 11g? If so, let me know!
Below, you see the entire code as generated in Visual Web Developer 2008. To see it in action, check the video at http://www.kencox.ca/video/oracelandsqldatasource.html.

Ken,
One thing to be aware of is Microsoft has produced Visual Studio database tools and data provider for Oracle. In addition, Oracle has produced its own tools. Knowing which products you are using is important because you want to know which company you should be complaining about. :-)
In your video, you are using all Microsoft tools and data provider, not Oracle's.
I would recommend using Oracle Developer Tools (ODT) for VS and ODP.NET since these products are much better integrated with .NET and Oracle.
ODP.NET uses Oracle.DataAccess.Client namespace. System.Data.OracleClient belongs to the MS provider for Oracle, which Mark pointed out. If you drag and drop DB objects using ODT, it will generate ODP.NET code for you (and give you more data source wizard options as well).
You can download the latest 11g version of ODP.NET and ODT here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html
These support .NET 3.5 and VS 2008.

Help for: ORA-01103: database name PRIMARY in control file is not STANDBY

Hello all, this will be my first post to the support forum. I'm an associate dba with just 6 months on the job, so if I've forgotten something or not given some infromation that is needed please let me know.
I've also combed the forums/internet, and some of the answers haven't helped. The Oracle Document ORA-1103 While Mounting the Database Using PFILE [ID 237073.1] says my init.ora file is corrupted, but creating a new init.ora file from the spfile does not help. Neither does just starting from the spfile. I have older copies of the init.ora file and the spfiles that the database was running on previously, so I believe they are good.
This standby NIRNASD1 has existed previously, I had to refresh the primary NIKNASD2, and then re-instantiate NIRNASD1 after the refresh is complete.
My env is set correctly, and my ORACLE_SID has been exported to NIRNASD1
NIKNASD2 = Primary Database
NIRNASD1 = Secondary/Standby Database
Goal: Creation of Logical Standby NIRNASD1 after creating Physical Standby from NIKNASD2
My database versions are 10.2.0.4.0, and the databases are on a Unix server. Both databases are located on separate servers.
Steps that I have taken:
I used RMAN to backup our primary database to the staging area:
$ rman target /
run {
backup database
format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U'
include current controlfile for standby;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup archivelog all format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U';
I used RMAN to Create Secondary Database utilizing RMAN DUPLICATE command.
RMAN> run {
2> allocate auxiliary channel auxdisk device type disk;
3> duplicate target database for standby NOFILENAMECHECK;
4> }
On Secondary database I started Managed Recovery mode
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
(I used pfile here, thinking that I needed to mount the database to the pfile so that the database would see the change in the dataguard parameters in the init.ora file, the change from logical to physical- I commeneted out the logical and uncommented the physical line)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
#db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;
ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 1174405120 bytes
Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
I then verified the Data Guard Configuration by using “alter system archive log current;” on the primary database and watching the sequence number change in the secondary database.
I made sure that:
•     The primary database was in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MODE
•     Stopped managed recover on the standby database: alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
•     Built a logical standby data dictionary on the primary database
•     The db_name in init.ora was changed (this is in our document at my job)
•     I changed my database name (from physical to logical) in my init.ora pfile (reverse of what I did above)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
#db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
I then went to shutdown my standby database and re-start it in a mount exclusive state, which is where I get the ORA-01103 Error (Again I used the pfile, thinking that I needed to tell the database it is now a logical standby):
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> STARTUP EXCLUSIVE MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;

Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'NIKNASD2' in control file is not 'NIRNASD1'
From what I understand of the process, the name in the control file is correct, I want it to be NIRNASD1. But the database for some reason thinks it should be NIKNASD2. The following are the parts of my init.ora file that include the dataguard parameters:
# Database Identification

#db_name=NIRNASD1
#db_unique_name=NIRNASD1
# File Configuration
control_files=("/oradba2/oradata/NIRNASD1/control01.ctl", "/oradba3/oradata/NIRNASD1/control02.ctl", "/oradba4/oradata/NIRNASD1/control03.ctl")
# Instance Identification

# Dataguard Parameters

# Parameters are not needed since this server will NOT become primary

# valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role)
# db_unique_name=NIKNASD2'
fal_server='NIKNASD2'

I would appreciate any help, or pointing me in the right direction. I'm just missing something. I am reviewing the documents for building a physical and logical standby from oracle. Just not sure where to go from here.
Thank you

First of all, thank you both for answering my post. I've pulled up Mr. Hesse's page and will make it a go-to staple.
We're in the process of upgrading our databases, but we have 130+ databases and only six Oracle dba's, and I'm one of them. It's a large corporation, and things move at a "slow and tested" pace.
The pfile parameters listed above are from my secondary/standby database. And I do want to create a logical standby.
I forgot to mention that we do use DataGuard Broker, but I did not think that would be the cause of why the database was starting up incorrectly, so I did not mention it. My apologies there.
As far as the db_name, here's my question on that. It's my understanding the the db_name should be the name of the primary database when you are working with a physical standby, but as soon as you convert it to logical, you should change the db_name to the secondary/standby database? Am I correct on that?
Leading from that, during the process of creating the physical standby and converting the physical standby to the logical standby, should I change the db_name in the secondary/standby database in the spfile and never use the pfile at all? For instance, when I create the physical standby I have to change the db_name in the standby to the PRIMARY database, so that makes me think I should change db_name in the spfile? (If you see above, I changed db_name in the pfile and did a startup pfile)
This morning I was able to reach out to a fellow DBA (they are were asleep when I posted this last night), and they tried a few things. We had a redirect in the standby directory /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/dbs folder that looked like this: spfileNIRNASD1.ora -> /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/spfileNIRNASD1.ora
She removed the redirect and the startup mount exclusive then worked without the error.
Thank you again for your help Mr.Quluzade and Mr. Hesse, I appreciate you all taking the time to teach someone new to the craft. I will definitely read up on the link that you sent me.

Database name is missing a component....

I'm doing a 3 server install on Windows 2000 Professional.
While installing the infrastructure, while it tries to create the database I get the warning "database name is missing a component". I'm never asked to enter a database name, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
The infrastructure hostname is "in", it's in workgroup "workgroup", and the fully qualified hostname is "in.sdia.com". It's IP address is 192.168.45.10. In the hosts file I added the following line after the default localhost entry:
192.168.45.10 in.sdia.com in
In the infrastructure install my instance name is "instance1".
I can finish the infrastructure install (and it reports it as successful), but I then get the same error doing the information store install, after which it fails on the database creation.
Any ideas?

How do you double quote the db name in a single box installation on Windows ? In a single box inst, you do not get the chance to specify the name that is causing the trouble, namely iasd.domainname.in.something. On windows, I tried manually running the same command that, according to logs, was failing, but could not get this to work. I tried all alternatives I could think of (-gdbname iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi / "iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi" / 'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi' / ""iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"" / '"iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"' / "'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi'") but none of them works. Some quickly spit out an error about an error in the name, while some fail only later with ORA-02084. What should I do ?

ORA-01161: database name

DB 10.2.0.4
AIX 5.2
I am trying to make clone.Even I made clone, the database was up but when I saw in the alert log file it was giving continue below error(1) and the size of alert log file was getting increase so I decided to restore missed file and I restored and trying to create control file but this time it is giving below second(2) error.
1:
ORA-00376: file 35 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01111: name for data file 35 is unknown - rename to correct file
ORA-01110: data file 35: '/vol01/oracle/product/10g/dbs/MISSING00035'

Suggest me.

You could have missed that datafile in create controlfile statement, thats the reason for file naming convention to MISSING
--okay but now what is the solution. That missing file does not physical exist at error location.

Problem is here:
WHEN ( new.CREDIT_HOLD='Y')
Should be using a colon in front of any new or old columns in your PL/SQL and SQL, thus try this:
WHEN ( :new.CREDIT_HOLD='Y')
FYI: when using triggers (unless you specify otherwise in the trigger definition itself):
old values are referenced via :old.column and new values via :new.column

ORA-01504: database name 'DEV1' does not match parameter db_name 'PROD1'

Hi, All -
This is my first time cloning a database. The recovery finished but gave me the following error message. All the parameters in the pfile are set to "DEV1". I believe that the parameter db_name 'PROD1' exists in the control file and causing this error. The control file is under ASM.
How can I change the parameter in the control file and bring the 'DEV1' cloned database up? Also, how can I avoid this issue next time I do a clone?
Thanks in advance!
