The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Oracle, Oracle 9i on Windows XP Sp2, 9.2.0.1, TNS issue. ORA-03113: end-of-file when trying to connect, TNS issue. ORA-03113: end-of-file when trying to connect
Hi Guru
I have  a fresh install of Oracle Client 9.2 and Oracle Database 9.2 on my Windows XP SP2 machine.
My machine is called LAXP001, the Net Service Name is DEVL, the Database is DEVDB, SID = DEVDB.
I can tnsping devl ok, I can login as system ok in sqlplus via cmd when I just type sqlplus [Enter], then asks for login user, then password. However, if I do sqlplus system/password@devl I get end-of-file 03113 messages. If I do sqlplus system/password without the connect-string I login ok but to which instance I don't know.

Here's my tnsnames :
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: F:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

DEVL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = LAXP001)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = DEVL)
    )
  )
Here's my sqlnet.ora
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: F:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
and here's my listener.ora
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: F:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = LAXP001)(PORT = 1521))
      )
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
      )
    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = DEVL)
      (ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\ora92)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )
Each listing is complete from top to bottom.
My confusion at the moment is mostly to do with the difference between "service name" and "database". If I log into Enterprise Mgr and try to login to DEVL nothing happens (probably because of the end-of-channel), but I can create a new instance for DEVDB_LAXP001 and create schema , users etc.

Can someone please explain the difference between a service and a database and then what I need to do to get a database instance working as it should i.e. connecting via sql*plus?
