ORA-2083 02083, 00000, "database name has illegal character '%s'" // *Cause: supplied database name can contain only A-Z, 0-9, '_', '#', '$'nb // '.' and '@' characters. // Solution Description: ===================== Potential Solution(s):
1. Check whether you are using a dash "-" in the database name, i.e., PROD-DB. If so, remove it. 2. Verify whether you have the parameters default domain and/or default zone set to a dash "-" in the sqlnet.ora file. If so, you must remove it.

Hi All, I have a down production system on Win NT4,Oracle 8.1.6. I just started getting ora-2083 database name has illegal character '-'. When I try to connect via svrmgrl after setting oracle_sid I get tns-12560 tns protocol adapter error. The other 2 instances work fine. Nothing on MetaLink has been helpful thusfar. Any ideas on how to resolve.
