RE: Problem upgrading from Windows 2000 Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0

I remember seeing this problem with Oracle 8.0.4 on HP-UX, but not with
Oracle 8.0.6 on Unix or Windows.
E.g.
sqlplus username/password@tns_alias would be successful
But
sqlplus
Enter username: username@tns_alias
Enter password: password

Would fail.

One other thought, which may have some bearing on the problem.

It's always been a peculiarity on this server that, if I open a DOS
window and simply type "sqlplus", then I'm asked for a username and
password, which I supply, and then I get an error message ORA-12560:
TNS:protocol adapter error.

If however I type "sqlplus myuserid/mypasswd@DLIB", thereby forcing
resolution, everything works fine.

None of our other Windows Oracle servers have this peculiarity, so I'd
wondered if it was a quirk of 8.0 (this is the only 8.0 server). Now I'm
not so sure.

Just wondered if this might ring some bells, as it may be linked to my
database upgrade assistant problem.
