I tried creating user with OPS$ prefix and it worked. The unix account userid is abc,
My question is: why didn't it work when i did create abc... identified externally from sqlplus. My database name is dia3.
In $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initdia3.ora, i explicitly gave OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX="".
Why didn't it work before?
By the way there is a init.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs dir. which file should be modified? initdia3.ora or init.ora. $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initdia3.ora is linking to $ORACLE_HOME/admin/ dia3/init.ora.
Which is the actual configuration file?
Thanks for any input. Received on Thu Mar 21 2002 - 16:22:27 CET
