I learning to use Oracle database, and I just installed Oracle Database 12c Release 2 on my Ubuntu 18.04.
I login as sysdba with this following command:
sqlplus / as sysdba
So far all thing working and I got this message:
Connected to an idle instance.
Now, I want to start my server with this following command:
SQL> STARTUP
But, the thing that make me confuse are I got this error message:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/12/dbhome_1/dbs/initSID.ora'
I checking it out on that directory, and the initSID.ora was missing.
So, where I can find the missing file..?, how to fix it..?
Finally I figure out this by following @Tejash----ORA-00980 instructions to create a database.
