RE: problem in creating control file?

[Gogala, Mladen]

You should also try using paths like "/data/yedek123" or "D:[YEDEK123.DATAFILES]". Database works much better with those file naming conventions. -----Original Message----- From: Hallas John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 8:03 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: problem in creating control file?
