ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect des

835297Jan 29 2011 — edited Mar 3 2011
I am using Oracle 10g. Facing the same kind of problem. Also I am not able to connect isqlplus as well

java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
localhost:1521:orcl

Where as I am very much able to connect to DB through sqlplus but not through either TOAD or Java program.

I was very much able to connect earlier. I have made no changes to oracle.



output of "tnsping orcl" :
