Login onto SQLPlus worksheet

I am from the HP3000 world and am new to the oracle world. I want to enter and execute Oracle PL/SQL and SQL statements so as to become familiar with Oracle SQL. That is, build database tables, insert data, and retrieve the data directly and thru views, etc.
The download and install of Oracle9i Database Release 2 for Microsoft Windows 98/2000/nt/xp via the 92010nt_clt.zip file onto my pc seemed to complete successfully. I have Windows xp on my pc.
When I start SQLPlus Worksheet, a dialog box comes up with questions for which I do not know the answers.
The dialog box wants login option (1. login to the oracle management server, or 2. connect directly to a database), username, password, service, and connect&as (normal, sysdba, sysoper) responses.
During setup, as best as I can recall, there were no requests for, or displays of, this information.
Any suggestions on how to determine (or generate) the correct answers to the dialog box input requests ?
Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.

You can configure the client using the Net Easy Config tool which will create/modify the existing TNSNAMES file contents.

  • Sqlplus Worksheet login failure

    Hi,
    I am running the Oracle 9i client on a win 2k machine using a network copy of the TNSNAMES file. This was done by adding a TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointing to the appropriate directory.
    Everything is working fine eg: OEM, sqlplus etc EXCEPT SQLPlus Worksheet. It gives me an error stating it can't find the TNSNAMES file. The only way to get around this is to copy the network version of TNSNAMES directly to the computer defeating the purpose of the networked version.
    Do you have any insight into this?
    Thanks in advance for you time,

    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>which when i try to connect using the change database connection
    Do you mean, about the "Service" ?
    If you get connect using the scott/tiger account, then there is no problem in order to connect using other accounts. Now, if you need to connect in other database, then maybe you need to create a service "connection string" on your local TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    Cheers

  • Error when login to sqlplus

    Hi, I was able to login to sqlplus. But when I ran a sql script which had some errors, the sqlplus exited (crashed??). When I tried to relogin, I got the following errors:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    Please tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks.

    the error means you haven't started up your db yet before you run your SQL*Plus script. please log on as sysdba and startup and try again.

  • Opening a UTF8 file in SqlPlus Worksheet

    OS: Win2000 server
    Oracle 9: Unicode installation, for multilingual data.
    I need to open a script (it's in UTF8) file containing some Japanese characters. I changed the client configuration (NLS_LANG) and also my regional settings to be able to type Japanese characters; but when I open the file it's corrupted.
    If I do a copy and paste from Notepad to the SqlPlus Worksheet or if I type the Japanese characters everything works.
    Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

    Your NLS_LANG should reflect the regional setting you have for your Windows 2000 client. SQL*PLUS is not going to be able to handle Unicode files on a Windows 2000 environment. You could use iSQL*PLUS for this purpose. It is a browser based version and can handle UTF-8.

  • SQLPlus Worksheet

    Hello,
    I'm a student and we are working with "SQLPlus Worksheet" at school.
    Now I like to use the same tool at my home computer but I can't find it on the net.
    I installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 2008 completly successfull but I can't find the SQL Plus Worksheet app.
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you for the reply's.
    Sorry but I can't find SQL*PLus Worksheet in my start menu (also checked the oracle/bin folder)
    Here is a screenshot of SQL*Plus Worksheet that I found on the net.
    !http://www.uploadgeek.com/share-2F3C_49F5CCF5.html
    I like to use SQL*Plus Workshoot on my pc too because in school we work with
    Formatting output like break on skip, btitle, ttitle, column, compute, pagesize, linesize, heading, wrap
    and I don't think the SQL Developer doesn't support that.

  • Sys doesn't need password to login to sqlplus of 10gr2

    I have installed 10gr2 in a unix server, and in that localhost I use sys account to login to sqlplus but I found that it doesn't need password to login, other accounts required password though. However, it needed password for sys when login to em. I didn't modified any file under network/admin. How can I change it to authenticate sys in sqlplus? Thanks in advance

    That's OS authentication. As already said, if OS user is member of dba group (or group defined at installation time) then no password is needed. Did you try something like
    SQL> connect aaaaa/bbbbb as sysdba
    it will work.
    If you want to disable it, then add this line to your sqlnet.ora
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE)

  • ISQL - SQLPlus Worksheet

    Is it possible to set up a select-statement and get the result in Table-Format and not in ASCII-Format?
    With SQLPlus Worksheet:
    Is it possible to stop the showing of results or do I always have to close the program to stop it?
    Is it possible to get more then 80 characters per line?

    You only have to use a browser with the link:

  • Why do people login as sqlplus /NOLOG?

    Why do DBAs login by issuing
    sqlplus /NOLOGfirst and then issue
    connect sys as sysdbaWhat's wrong in Logging in using a single step
    sqlplus / as sysdba

    Daniel,
    Interesting observation regarding the username and password displaying with the ps command on Unix (I was not aware of that problem). The same problem exists on the Windows platform as well. A Windows administrator is able to remotely execute against a user's computer the WMI query:
    SELECT CommandLine FROM Win32_ProcessIf an Oracle user connects to SQL*Plus with the username and password on the command line, the Oracle user's username and password will be exposed to the Windows administrator without that administrator needing to visit the computer used by the user. Also, on Windows I believe that I recall reading about problems with the command line parameters not being set correctly if the username and password are passed in on the command line, something like this (from a client computer):
    Z:\>set oracle_sid=MYTESTDB
    Z:\>sqlplus sys/mysyspass as sysdba

  • Bowser login works, sqlplus login fails

    I can login on the browser with the username and password, but sqlplus produces the message:

    This was working with beta 2 and beta 3. Now I have installed the released production version and it fails.
    Please advise. Thanks.

    This is on XP SP2. Database and listener appear to be running. There are -no- ORA* environment variables defined. The XE ./bin directory is the only Oracle in the PATH. Logging in on the browser works.

  • Need Help with logins for SQLPLUS and Database Control

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle. I installed "Oracle 10g Standard Version" on Win XP Pro. I have two questions regarding logins:
    (1)     After installing the software I used “dbca” to create a General Purpose database. At the end of the database creation I clicked on the Password Management button and I entered the password for SYS, SYSTEM and SCOTT. Then at the DOS command prompt I typed “SQLPLUS” and I can login as SCOTT and system, but I cannot as login as sysdba or sysoper. I get invalid username/password; logon denied message.
    But I can type “SQLPLUS /NOLOG” and then issue command “connect /as sysdba” and connect successfully as sysdba. Any idea why I cannot login sysdba or sysoper?
    (2)     When I go to windows Start->All Programs->Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 and select “Database Control”. A browser windows open up Database Control page. I cannot start Listener nor Start up a Database Instance. No matter whether I try SYS, SYSDBA, SYSOPER or SCOTT I cannot login. Any idea what is going on here?
    At the SQLPLUS command prompt if I enter “select status from v$instance;” I get status as “OPEN”.
    I am lost in Oracle world as a typical newbie. Many thanks in advance for any advice or pointers.
    Thanks
    Joe

    (1) Yes I can login if I type "sqlplus / as sysdba". Does that mean "sysdba" doesn't have a password?
    (2) when I run "emctl status dbconsole", I get a message saying "Environment variable ORACLE_SID not defined. Please define it." Can someone tell me what should I do?
    Thanks
    Joe
