Re: STARTUP Instance with (s)pfile -> invalid character

[Quoted] [Quoted] Seems to me that you're trying to start the instance by specifying a spfile (SPFILEZWEITEDB.ORA) in a pfile parameter. Doesn't work that way.

You start the instance by either:
(1) Using the traditional text parameter file. STARTUP PFILE={your text init.ora}

(2) Or by a server parameter file.
