I just installed Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0) in Windows XP Professional SP2. I selected the Personal Edition and requested a the starter database to be created.

However, the init parameter file created is called

ORACLE_HOME\admin\db_name\pfile\init.ora.692005154631

instead of 'init.ora'.

What does the .692005154631 extension means? Or is my installation correct at all? I have deinstalled a version failed during installation once before installing the current version. Would that be causing any problem?

I am able to do all kinds of thing in my current installation (running PLSQL, creating table, etc) but just dont know which init parameter file to edit!! How do I verify if my installation is correct or not?

Thx for any advice. Received on Mon Jul 25 2005 - 07:18:14 CDT
