ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adaptor error after delete one database

Question

i have oracle11g desktop. For my project I create 3 databases via configuration assistant tools. Then I delete one of them and after this I have the error: ora-12560. By mistake both of my databases have the same pasword, for example: when i want to connect one of these data bases with system user, i have one pasword and perhaps the databases dont know connect which one.

I start all services set oracle_sid=orcl. I run lsnrctl tnsping check tansname.ora & my listener.ora and I logon with sysdba@oracle_sid

but i have this error again

pleas help me tnx

Answer 1

I have got the same error after delete a db (in the window enviroment) and I resolved as following

the first way:

C:> SET ORACLE_SID = SID NAME

the second way:

Use regedit locate to path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HOME_NAME update ORACLE_SID =

Answer 2

sounds like the database is not up. you probably restarted your machine and the instance is not set to autostart
