Hi Igor, thanks for your reply.

Call me a bonehead... but I got nothing.  What am I missing?

C:\>set ORACLE_SID
Environment variable ORACLE_SID not defined

C:\>sqlplus system

Lisa,
 

Try:
 

SET ORACLE_SID
 

You should get:
 

ORACLE_SID='your_sid'

Hi Rick,

I ran into this as well.  I figured I didn't need a listener on my w2k box because everything was going to be local.  However I couldn't connect via sqlplus gui without a listener (no listener error - maybe because I am specifying the sid).  I guess it's just another difference between Oracle on windows and Oracle on Unix.

If I remember right (it's been soooo long) when you connect in Unix with the $ORACLE_SID as part of your env, you can do so without @. If you do it with the @, it looks for a listener.   When connecting via a windows gui, you are specifying the sid.  I'm guessing it's doing something similar to the @ in the background.  The cmd window connects without the @ because it's in the environment.

By the way, how do you display an environment variable in Windows?  I thought it was echo %ORACLE_SID%, but that doesn't work.  Anyone?

Again I may be pre-coffee.

Hi All,

I did a typical installation of Oracle 8.1.7 on Win 2k. It appears to have installed Ok.  I can use srvmgrl -> create database -> etc. However when I try to use worksheet I get no listner. I should not need one from the server. Anyway the install did not create service to start the listener.  All other installs I have done on NT always created a tnslistner service. This in my first install on Win 2k. Anyone have any ideas on why service did not get created and how to correct?

Thanks
Rick
