Hi, I accidently put remote_listener=' ' in the spfile, and the database can't startup now because of the wrong remote_listener value. how can i reset it and startup the database (10g)? thanks very much.

thanks Michel, but it doesn't work.
the database even can't STARTUP NOMOUNT because of the wrong remote_listener value, otherwise it would be easily reset by ALTER SYSTEM RESET REMOTE_LISTENER=...

You'll need to create a new pfile based upon what is in the alert_SID.log file from the previous good startup.
The non-default parameter values are displayed in this file.

I tried but don't find any issue setting REMOTE_LISTENER to ''. Are you sure the problem comes from that?

SQL> alter system set remote_listener='' scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shutdown;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Another option would be to create a copy of your spfile and then use 'stings' on the file if on UNIX or open in Wordpad if on Windows. Then you can copy the parameters & values from the file and save to a ascii (text) file and startup with this file.

Michel, in my situation, there was a space in the quetation marks.
alter system set remote_listener=' ' scope=spfile;

I can do it this way (Oracle 10.2.0.3 on WinXP):

SQL> alter system set remote_listener=' ' scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shutdown;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter REMOTE_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ' '
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter REMOTE_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ' '
SQL> create pfile from spfile;
ERROR:
OCI-21710: argument is expecting a valid memory address of an object



File created.

SQL> ed D:\Oracle\ora102\database\initMIKA.ora

SQL> create spfile from pfile;

File created.

SQL> startup

actually, CREATE PFILE FROM SPFILE and CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE
can work with idle instances (no pfile or spfile needed at this stage). so the problem is easily fixed.
thanks everybody for your help.
