Action: Make sure that the last synonym in the synonym path points to an object that exists, and that it doesn't point back to itself.
SP2-0750 ORACLE_HOME may not be set
Cause: SQL*Plus was unable to find a message file during program initialization, and could not display error messages or text required for normal operation. The most common cause is that ORACLE_HOME has not been set. Other possible causes are a corrupt or unreadable message file. On Windows the SQLPLUS registry entry may be invalid.

This message is hard coded (in English) in the SQL*Plus source code so it can be displayed on message file error. It could never be read from this message file because the error occurs only when the message files cannot be opened. This entry in the message file is for documentation purposes only.

Action: Make sure that all environment variables or registry entries needed to run SQL*Plus are set. The variables are platform specific but may include ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, NLS_LANG, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

On Windows if the environment variable called SQLPLUS is set, it must contain the directory name of the SQL*Plus message files, for example %ORACLE_HOME%\sqlplus\mesg.

Also check that the file sp1XX.msb is in the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg or %ORACLE_HOME%\sqlplus\mesg directory. The "XX" stands for the country prefix associated with your NLS_LANG environment variable. SQL*Plus reads only one of the sp1XX.msb files. For example sp1ja.msb is read if NLS_LANG is JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC. If NLS_LANG is not set, then the default (English language) sp1us.msb is used. Check that the appropriate file is of non-zero size and that the file permissions allow it to be read. Note that ".msb" files are binary. The contents may be meaningless when viewed or printed. If you are unsure which language file is being used, unset NLS_LANG and run SQL*Plus to verify it can read the sp1us.msb file.

Cause: An invalid option was used in the -C[OMPATIBILITY] command option.
Action: Check the syntax of the SQL*Plus executable for the correct options.
SP2-0753 STARTUP with MIGRATE only valid with Oracle 9.2 or greater
Cause: STARTUP MIGRATE was used to try to startup an Oracle server for a release prior to 9.2.
Action: Check the platform specific environment to verify that you are connecting to an Oracle server that is at least release 9.2.
SP2-0754 FROM clause cannot contain AS SYSDBA or AS SYSOPER
Cause: The COPY command does not support AS SYSDBA or AS SYSOPER connections.
Action: Remove AS SYSDBA or AS SYSOPER from the FROM clause.

Action: Remove the command from your script. If you used a disabled command, check the documentation for a replacement command.
SP2-0852 Option not available in iSQL*Plus
Cause: The command option is not available in iSQL*Plus. This error usually occurs after SP2-158 or SP2-735. Some options are disabled in a web based context because they have no meaning, because they prevent proper operation, or because they pose a security risk.

Cause: An error occurred while trying to read the connection identifier in the Connection Identifier field of the iSQL*Plus Login screen.
Action: If the full connection syntax is used in the Username field (for example "username/password@connect_identifier") then the Connection Identifier field must be empty.
SP2-0856 Usage: CONN[ECT] username/password[@connect_identifier] [AS {SYSOPER|SYSDBA}]or: CONN[ECT] /[@connect_identifier] AS {SYSOPER|SYSDBA}

SP2-0934 iSQL*Plus Server currently has insufficient memory to complete this script
Cause: The iSQL*Plus Server could not completely execute the script because there was not enough memory available. Part of the script may have executed. Some specific causes are:

1. The Java VM heap grew too large due to executing scripts with large output or with too many concurrent sessions.2. Insufficient physical memory available for the Java VM.

Action: One or more of the following may help:

1. Edit queries to reduce the number of rows returned.

2. Turn iSQL*Plus multi page output on to reduce the number of rows cached.
