Oracle 10g: ORA-12154 when connect to database with newly created user

This is the continue topic with this topic:

Oracle 10g: Error when creating database manually by scripts

Basically, I had created an Oracle database named "testdb" using only batch scripts and SQL scripts.

After successfully creating a database using script, I create a script to create user for client connect to the database.

CreateUser.bat

sqlplus sys/test as sysdba @D:\Script\CreateUser.sql

CreateUser.sql

shutdown immediate;
startup;
CREATE USER usr1 IDENTIFIED BY usr1
    DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
    QUOTA UNLIMITED ON users;
GRANT CREATE SESSION, GRANT ANY privilege TO usr1;
exit;

Everything run ok, with no error.

Then I try to test by connecting to SQLPlus on cmd:

sqlplus usr1/usr1@testdb

This retrun the error:

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

I wonder what I did wrong.

The same happen for the database I created via DBCA.

you can sqlplus usr1/usr1@testdb when you create connect string. It means that you need to entry in tnsnames.ora file

The error is because you don't seem to have an entry for testdb in your tnsnames.ora file. You could add one, manually or with the configuration tools netca etc); or you could bypass that with the 'easy connect' syntax:

 sqlplus username/password@//hostname:port/service_name

If this is on your local machine, the default port and the service name matches the SID, that could be simolified a bit to:

sqlplus usr1/usr1@//localhost/testdb

You can verify the service name in v$parameters, or with lsnrctl services.

You can read more about connections and naming methods.

If your are connecting to a database on the same machine as the client, and you are using the same ORACLE_HOME, you don't need to use TNS/SQL*Net at all. With ORACLE_SID set to the right value, just doing this will connect locally:

sqlplus usr1/usr1
