First time using SQL PLUS

oracle 10g, OS is XP pro, Database is mounted, and open.
the user sysdba PW is oracle. Able to use command line sql: ie >sqlplus /nolog and connect / as sysdba
when I exit SQL I ran sqlplusw, Login pops up.
for user I used sysdba, press enter,
the display wanted PW, I used oracle.
It said user/pw do not match.
How do I correct this problem ?
eric

I think you want to login to sqlplus but don't know user name and password avialable.
Try these combination of user name and password :
scott/tiger
sys/change_on_install
system/manager
Good Luck,

  • SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use

    Hi
    I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
    When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
    Management Studio  them loads and I can continue without problem.
    I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is bug report of this issue:
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/126364/configuring-enviroment-for-the-first-time-every-time-in-ms-sql-server-management-express

    and in ...\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
    if any of these files are not available or unusable, SSMSE will generate new ones."
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot connect to database using SQL*Plus

    Hi, I have Oracle 10g XE installed in my labtop and I cannot connect using SQL*Plus.
    I can connect using the broser User Interface though, which I was able to do after doing the following procedure to change the password of the sys account:
    -     open a command prompt
    -     - type sqlplus
    -     On the “Enter user-name” line, type /as sysdba
    -     On the SQL> prompt, type alter user sys identified by NewPassword;
    But the thing is that even though I am able to connect using sys/NewPassword from my browser UI, I dont get the same result when doing it using the SQL prompt.
    What I am trying to do is this:
    SQL> connect sys/NewPassword
    Then I get first a warming saying that I need to use either sysdba or sysoper to connect to the system account, but neither of those work.
    Can anyone advice me on this matter?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for that.
    I run the command to list the usernames on the database and I got SYS and SYSTEM in the list. But again, when I try to use SYS with a password that I know is working because I can access it through the browser UI, it doesnt work. It seems like this sys is different to the sys I used in the UI.
    I dont know if I am explaining myself correclty... In the Browser UI I use sys, and a password and I get connected to the sys account. However, if I try to use the same sys.password combination from my sqlplus prompt, I get error messages
    Does this make sense at all?

  • Qosmio F60 - Each time it starts up, says it is first-time use

    My notebook has just come back from being repaired (they replaced the hard-drive). Now every time I turn it on or it restarts, it says that Windows is configuring the computer for first-time use. Once on, the control panel pops up with 'How to customise your computer'. Plus, a small window pops up with "System Preparation Tool 3.14" and even if I click OK, it doesn't work.
    Otherwise my computer works normally.
    How do I stop my notebook from thinking it's starting for the first time?

    Hi buddy,
    > a small window pops up with "System Preparation Tool 3.14" and even if I click OK, it doesn't work.
    And what happens if you dont click on this tool?
    Maybe the notebook was reinstalled from authorized service provider and so the installation must be finished.
    Otherwise I would recommend reinstalling Windows from Toshiba recovery disk again. Maybe something went wrong during installation and so it would be necessary to reinstall Windows again.
    Check this!!!

  • Can I use SQL *Plus 11.1.0.7.0 to connect Oracle Express 10g

    Hi guys:
    I download "Oracle 11g ODAC *11.1.0.7.20* with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio", trying to use SQL *plus to see if configuration is alright.
    But after entering account/pwd, I got a error:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    What is wrong with my environment?
    Thanks,

    Hi EdStevens,
    Following the instructions in previous post, I can connect with SQL plus (the database is on the same box* as your sqlplus client); I just enter sqlplus in windows console.
    In addition, i am still curious about how SQL plus connect to a remote* box. Could you shed more light on that?SQLPlus connects to a remote db the same way any other app does. After all, sqlplus is just another client app.
    It's all in the connect string. So say, at a command prompt you enter
    $> sqlplus scott/tiger@mydbso in the above example, 'scott' is the user, 'tiger' is the password, and 'mydb' is the tns service name. Of course, the OS passes all that to sqlplus as a command line parameter. Internally, sqlplus makes a call to the tns layer and passes it the connect information it has. TNS will take a look at the tnsnames.ora file and find an entry for 'mydb', and from there it will get the name or ip address of the host server, a port number, and a service name. That information will be passed on down the network stack for routing. (If a name was provided instead of an ip address, the OS network stack will use whatever means are at its disposal - a hosts file, a dns lookup, or whatever, to get an ip address). The request will arrive at the specified host and placed on the specified port. If everything was configured correctly, there will be an oracle listener process monitoring that port. It will pick up the request and see if it recognizes the service name. If it does, it will spawn a user server process on a different port to complete the connection, then get out of the way and continue listening for more requests.
    This is how it happens most of the time. There are a lot of other variants, but that's the gist of it.
    More information can be found in the fine documentation at tahiti.oracle.com.

  • Limitation in using sql *plus as a database for applications

    dear experts;
    I would like to know all, what are some of the major limitations in using sql*plus as your database in designing application besides the fact the user-interface is not friendly enough..and google is not producing relevant answers to my questions by the way unfortunately

    user13328581 wrote:
    I know about the drivers, I just need an IDE very similar to PL/SQL developer that will give me an opportunity to create the tables and their relationships and perform other DDL tasks that is why initially i was just wondering whether it is okay to utilize sql*plus for all that...SQLPlus can process any valid sql statement. Actually, it will pass anything that is not a sqlplus command to the database to be processed. The database will process any valid sql statement and pass the result back to the client to do with as the client sees fit - the client being sqlplus in this case.
    Which is exactly what SQL Developer does. You say you want something "very similar to PL/SQL developer ". Why not SQL Developer itself?
    It sounds like you continue to confuse the database with the client application. ("what are some of the major limitations in using sql*plus as your database ...", "I need an oracle database which can be integrated with visual studio ")
    The database has no user interface at all. It accepts connection requests from clients, processes sql statements (or pl/sql blocks) passed from those clients and returns results to those clients. Those clients could be sqlplus, SQL Developer, Toad, Visual Basic, Access, Excel, or any number of other products -- all connecting to the same database at the same time, to do whatever they are programmed to do. You want to develop an app in visual studio? Be my guest. You want to use SQL Developer to create the tables, etc, needed by the app? Go right ahead. They are not mutually exclusive. You want to use sqlplus as well? Go ahead, it's the same database, just a different client app.

  • Create database table using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus

    hello there,
    I need help in creating tables in Oracle using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus interface.
    your help is appreciated
    email: [email protected]

    please use Forms_ddl package to create a table dynamically
    from the Developer6/6i.
    you can check the success or failure by using the
    form_success builtin.
    if u want to avoid using the Forms_ddl package
    use stored procedure or create a sql querry record group.

  • Can v read a client text file using SQL*plus??

    We have a requirement like this: We need to read a text file to find spelling mistakes. Problem is the file has to be always moved to the DB machine, which is a Linux box and then run a stored procedure which uses UTL_FILE. Now in order to show the spelling mistakes of the file the user will have to again copy the file with the spelling mistakses (output file) from Linux to Windows.
    Is there a way to do it using SQL*Plus, where the text file is in the client machine???? Then users don't have to copy the file to and from the Linux box.

    SQL*Plus is a client software and whatever code you write using SQL*Plus, it ultimately run on the server. So the answers to your question is "no".

  • First time using "Nokia N8 Ovi Map"

    hello,
    im first time using my n8 ovi map, and i wonder why it took hours for checking for my position,
    after 2-3 hours of waiting, it still searching for my position. instead of keep waiting, i switch to walking mode, and set a destination, now it shows "waiting for GPS". i have been waiting for more than 1 hour, sadly it still showing "waiting for GPS". Anyone experiences this problem before? please provide me some solutions. thanks.

    @NokiN8Silver
    Welcome to the forum!
    You might try as a temporary measure going to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods - only enable Integrated GPS then go outside away from tall buildings and it should lock on to satellites within 20 -30 minutes; once position established subsequent satellite lock on will be much more rapid.

  • 11g: can connet using SQL*PLUS, not with TOAD

    Hi
    I run into a problem with TOAD. I can't connect with my 11g database using TOAD. I don't get any messages it just gives me a little waiticon for a split second and then nothing happens. I can however connect to my 10g database using TOAD. Using SQL*Plus I can connect to both.
    I use TOAD 8.6. Do I need a newer version maybe??...

    I can connect like:
    hr/pw@xe
    or
    hr/pw@O11R1
    or directly, no problem. I can connect from SQLplus to both databases any way I want

  • Help.. First Time Using DVD Studio Pro!!

    OK .. this is my first time using DVD Studio Pro. Before this I have always used IDVD for my Final Cut Projects, but I now need to branch out!
    I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I've watched the video tutorials and tried to read the instruction manual, but it's heavy going!!!.. can someone help me get over the hump?
    Here's where I've got to:
    - In my Assets tab I have my two file - Test.mov QT Video File and Test.mov QT Audio file. Both are yellow uncompressed video. I also have a templates folder.
    - I chose the template called brush cover which I can see under the menu tab on a window. If I go to that same window and select the graphical tab I can see a menu 1 and track 1.
    - In my timeline I have dragged my Video and adui assets over and can see them and actually play the movie.
    - What is also worth mentioning is that I can also see the 18 chapter markers that I created in FCP.
    - Now I hit the brick wall!!.
    - Back in my menu I see 8 buttons. In my timeline I have 18 chapters. How do I transfer my 18 chapters over to my menu so that I have 18 buttons each one representing a chapter?
    - I'm sure that it's obvious and a silly question.. but for a rookie like me who's trying to figure this out from scratch it's not easy!
    Thanks for any advise!!.. also if anyone has a good 'idiot's guide' for ex iDVD people moving to DVD Pro then I'd really appreciate it!
    Many Thanks!
    Steve.

    Back in my menu I see 8 buttons. In my timeline I have 18 chapters. How do I transfer my 18 chapters over to my menu so that I have 18 buttons each one representing a chapter?
    You can duplicate your 8 buttons menu so many time as you need to include your 18 chapters, creating a simple new button to navigate through Chapter Menu1, Chapter Menu2, etc.
    Or you can duplicte&resize buttons to fit more of them in a single menu, but 18 button chapters could be too much for a comfortable navigation.
    Thanks for any advise!!.. also if anyone has a good 'idiot's guide' for ex iDVD people moving to DVD Pro then I'd really appreciate it!

  • Computer keeps Configuring and setting up for first time use

    I have a toshiba A505-S6980 that has been working fine for a couple years.  Recently I had performance issues and suspected virus, spyware so I did a recovery with the original discs I made when I first got the computer.  Four of the six discs reloaded fine.  It did not ask for the last two discs "Environment 64 bit and Applications and Drives.  I also have a System Repair disc.  After loading the four recovery discs the computer now keeps recycling between preparing for first time use, configuring system, reboot and then back to preparing for first time use,etc.  I think I'm close to getting this, but need a last bit of help.
    Thanks

    It's been a couple days since you posted this problem. Did you get anywhere, or are you still stuck in that loop? If it's still stuck, you may just want to perform the recovery again.
