Need to get into Oracle 8i database and don't have credentials

I need to get into an old Oracle 8i database running on Windows 2000 server. I have very limited experience with Oracle. No one who worked with this system is still employed by the company. I'm in the admin & Oracle DBA groups and have tried using
sqlplus <username>/<password> as sysdba
but I get TNS:protocol adaptor error. Oracle services are all running. If I could get in and export the data to a SQL Server machine, I'd be ok. Can anybody assist?
Thank you!

You must be using Remote Desktop of Mickeysoft to connect to the server.
You need to start a cmd window and issue
set local=<servicename in tnsnames.ora>
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
and this should work.

  • I need to get into my old account and get my addresses and then cancel the old account but can not get into it. Had to change my user name when I moved and now I can't get into Firefox. Can't remember the old password. What to do??

    I moved during the summer. I changed to highspeedand & when I set my computer up it told me that my email address was already in use so I had to change it(????) I changed from jkady to [email protected] I tried to change it on firefox but it would not except the new name and I could not get into my old account.I need all my addresses and would like to cancel the old account but I can not get into it. This is very frustrating!!!!! I need my addresses!!!!!!!!

    I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
    So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
    This is just stupid now.

  • Oracle 9i Database and Solaris 10 Zones

    Can an existing oracle 9i database be moved into a new zone? The database resides on it's own filesystem. The server is runnign Solaris 10, and the zones are not set up yet, but Oracle is installed, and the 2 databases are up and running.
    Basically there are 2 existing oracle 9i databases, and I want to setup 2 zones, where none other than the default global exist right now, and have each database in a zone.
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to do the following -
    Configure loopback mount points from the global zone into the local zone through zonecfg (one for Oracle binary, other for Oracle data). I am assuming that you want to share the same Oracle binary location between all the zones. The Oracle database mounts must be separate & make sure that you put them in the respective zone's config only.
    Create an oracle user with dba group in both the zones. It's best if the user IDs & group IDs across all the zones & global zone match.
    Stop both the database instances in the global zone.
    zlogin to a zone, su as oracle and startup the instances.
    Hope that works!

  • Download between Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9i DS

    I have download the files for Windows 2000.
    Oracle 9i Database version 9.0.2.1
    Oracle 9i DS version 9.0.2
    Download Date: June 7, 2002
    These from what I can tell are the lates versions on the website. I installed the database and everything went in fine. I can work with the database and everything. When I use the Universal Installer for Oracle 9i DS, I get an error when it hits 31% that states that this version of DS will not work with a database that is of version 9.0.2.1 or greater.
    If anyone can help me it would be a great help,
    Greg

    Hi,
    Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
    applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
    tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
    based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
    Cheers !

    Can any one brief in detail the difference between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

  • Importing a few Oracle 10g schemas into oracle 11g database

    Hi,
    I have the task to import a few schemas that are on oracle 10g database (10.2.0.4) into oracle 11gR2 database (11.2.0.2). Now I have only oracle 10g export and import utility (the 11g server is in not where I am given the import rights).
    Can I do the export of the 10g schemas using the 10g export utility and then import into 11g database using the 10g import utility? I ran a test to do that and found it works but would also like to have expert opinion on it.
    Also another question is: if the source schema is 11g - suppose- in that case can the 10g export/import utility still work? I mean export the schema from say db1 (which is 11g) using 10g export utility and import them into 11g database db2 (which is again 11g) using 10g import? I am asking because I don't have access to 11g server and trying to find what I can do with the 10g utilities.
    Thanks,

    set up a database link to the 10gR2 version database in the 11gR2 database.
    Now using the 11gR2 client impdp utility use
    impdp network_link=<link to 10gR2 database>
    Done.
    Your 'objection' you don't have access to 11gR2 doesn't count as you can install a 11gR2 client.
    Also generally speaking you should not use a lower version imp to imp to a higher version database
    Also exp and imp are deprecated in 10g and higher.

  • How to store txt file into Oracle 7 Database using Pro*C

    Hi,
    I want to store a txt file into Oracle 7 database table using
    Pro*C application. But do not know what type of column to use.
    At first glance it appeared to me as LONG can serve the purpose
    but later I noticed that I can not do the sequential read/write
    in LONG type of column. That is, I have to use chunks of max of
    2GB (or file lenght) to read/write into such columns.
    I want something simiar to CLOB of Oracle 8.
    I would appreciate if you can provide me solution.
    Thanks,
    Anurag

    You store images in a BLOB column in the database.
    However, inserting image in that column and displaying data/image from that column are 2 very different tasks.
    If you are using Oracle forms, displaying is easy. Default block sitting on the table with BLOB column, can be easily mapped to image box (or similar control), which will display that image.
    Inserting images will be a different ball game. If your forms are web based (i.e. run from browser) and you want to insert images from client machine, some special arrangements are required.
    If images are on database server and you want to insert them in database, the stored procedure given in the earlier thread (posted above) will do the job.

  • I am trying to get into my iCloud account and it is saying invalid user name and password

    I am trying to get into my iCloud account and it is saying "Invalid User Name or Password". I thought that you use your Apple I.D. and password, but that does not work! So, how do you reset your user name and/or password if you don't know what ones ICloud is seeking....

    After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

    i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
    If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
    Backing up is good.
