Oracle ORA-12514

ORACLEORA-12514
Database Error Code· An error code returned by a database server such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.

What it means

TNS listener does not currently know of service requested — service not registered.

How to fix it

  1. Verify the database instance is running and the service is registered with lsnrctl status.
  2. Confirm the service name in the connect string matches the actual service registered by the database.
  3. Restart the database instance so it re-registers its service with the listener.
