SQL Plus First Login

Apologies for such a basic question but I have just started learning sql in college! I just installed a copy of Oracle 8i Personal and I want to know what username, password and host string I enter when I first open sql plus. I created a blank database during installation.

You might have to set up the LISTENER service and have it support the database name you are trying to connect to. Also, if you have installed oracle on windows 2k/xp you need to create a service for the database using the ORADIM command. The syntax is:
ORADIM -NEW -SID <SIDname> -PFILE <path to parameter file>
there are other options you can use, just view the options from the command prompt.

Using sql*plus to login to oracle 9i

I have installed Oracle 9i for windows and am trying to login using SQL*PLUS
user: system
pwd: manager
Host String: BHURU
It says TNS could resolve service name.
I have all the services running in the admin monitor.
Am I missing something?

This is not a right forum to post your problem. This is SQL PL/SQL forum.

Enterprise manager & sql* plus login failed

hi
this is the problem i encountered yesterday:
there are server_3 and rs_16 machines which are in D1 domain and server_1 in W1 workgroup. server_3 and rs_16 has no oracle software whatsoever and on server_1 8i database exists. other machines with 8i clients, all in D1 domain, succesfully connect to server_1.
i installed 10g database on server_3 machine; after installation i created a database db1. after the database was created, i tried to start enterprise manager (EM) and it failed (the database is not mounted ....), and i found out that tns listener wasn't created during the installation. so i created tns listener and started EM again and browser showed the proper page (username and login). so i entered sys as username, pswrd (created during the installation) and connect as sysdba. when i clicked on login button, the page refreshed but nothing happened, the same page (login) was still opened. i tried to connect from rs_16 and the same thing happened. this happened using internet explorer for opening EM. i tried to login as system, sysman but all in vain.
then i installed 10g on rs_16, created db2 database and found out that tnsnames.ora file was missing. created db3 as well, and all went ok. started EM, tried to login and the same thing happened as on server_3, browser just refreshed the page.
also have to say that i tried to connect to databases using sql* plus and login also failed.
also tried using administration assistent for windows and tried to connect to db3. when i tried to connect as sys acount (database authentication) login failed, but when i used os authentication i succeeded.
then i tried to start EM from another machine rs_13 (D1 domain) using internet explorer and i succeeded, there was no problem at all. after all, i installed mozilla firefox (1.0.6) on rs_16 and succesfully started EM for any database i wanted. but have to mention that i still can't connect to any db using sql* plus.
rs_13 setup:
- win 2000 + sp4
- ie 6.0.2600.0000IC
and rs_16:
- win xp + sp2
- ie 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2
server_3:
- windows server 2003
on every machine i was logged in as top administrator so i had any possible permission.
could anybody answer these questions:
1. why tnsnames.ora wasn't created?
2. why tns listener wasn't created?
3. why couldn't i start EM using ie on server_3 and rs_16 and could on rs_13?
4. why did login fail using sql* plus and why can't i still connect to any db using sql* plus? is it a problem of assigning some privileges or something else?
5. why did login fail using database authentication while succeeded using windows authentication in administration assistent for windows? what should i do to make it succeed? is this all problem due to ie browser, win security or oracle security?
6. why microsoft is giving me a hard time with their security?
thanks for help in advance
hope this post will help someone else as well !!

could anybody answer these questions:
1. why tnsnames.ora wasn't created?
2. why tns listener wasn't created?I think you cancel Network Configuration Assistan which would create tnsnames.ora and listener. I hope others help you with the other questions I have plenty of work

URGENT - cannot log in to SQL Plus on Oracle 8i

Hi, I have Oracle 8i (8.1.6.0.0) installed on windows 98.
I want to use the SQL Plus module, but I have trouble to login SQL plus, and I an get error message:
ORA-12560: TNS:Protocol adapter error
I supposed the default username and password as follows:
SYS/CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
SYSTEM/MANAGER
SCOTT/TIGER
Am I using the correct version or edition (which I also don't know which edition)? Does windows 98 supports SQL Plus?
I was told to set up a database by selecting database administration then follow by database configuration assistant (in order to use the SQL Plus, firstly a database have to set up). I'm not sure whether this is true? but inside the database administration I don't have the so call "database configuration assistant". Can someone please help me?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I hope you can help, I'm in the same boat as the others who cannot log on to the SQL* using Oracle Personal Edition 8
I'm running on 98, and everytime I try entering SYS as username & CHANGE_ON_INSTALL as password, or SYSTEM as username & MANAGER as password; I get:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: Shared memory realm does not exist
I've been trying for a number of days, and have created databases using the Database config assistant, and everytime, it gives me the details as SYS CHANGE_ON_INSTALL etc, but it still doesn't let me log into SQL*
Any help would be gratefully received,
Patrick

SQL*Plus and NLS_DATE_FORMAT

So, I haven't visited this topic in a long time, so I'm trying to refresh my memory on how everything works ...
We set our NLS_DATE_FORMAT at the system level ... what ... 4 years ago to 'MM/DD/RR'. Despite the fact that I set this to something more commonly-used than the default of 'DD-Mon-RR', we've adopted the standard of always using TO_DATE() with an explicit format, just in case it's ever changed.
There were some applications that missed the standard, and now that a driver (for ColdFusion) has been updated, these SQL statements are now failing.
When I started looking into it, I realized that the system-level default of 'MM/DD/RR' should work fine. But, after experimenting in SQL*Plus and TOAD, I am thinking that either:
1) the system-level format is not being used
2) and/or there are login scripts which are setting these to something else
Coincidentally, both SQL*Plus and TOAD return the exact same query results:
SQL> select *
     from NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
     where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_DATE_FORMAT                MM/DD/RR
SQL> select *
     from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
     where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_DATE_FORMAT                DD-MON-RRSo I looked into the glogin.sql script (which both tools share), and there's nothing mentioned about the NLS_DATE_FORMAT

There's something that I'm missing in my basic understanding of how this works. I assumed that the driver update for ColdFusion perhaps enabled a different "glogin.sql"-type script equivalent for that tool ... until ... I started checking into how the NLS_DATE_FORMAT is supposed to work ... but isn't. Could someone help me clarify where the hole is in my understanding?

What's the difference, then, between NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS and NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS in my initial post? The glogin.sql script isn't altering the NLS_DATE_FORMAT for the desktop version of SQL*Plus, so I'm perplexed that the SESSION format differs from the INSTANCE format.NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS are the NLS parameters that are in force for your particular session (i.e. the particular connection you have). Most client applications cause things like NLS_DATE_FORMAT to be set, overriding the NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS. Instance-level NLS settings are most commonly used only for purely back-end processing (i.e. background jobs scheduled via DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER, etc.) 9 times out of 10, the client application is going to override the instance-level paramters.
I even opened SQL Developer, and got
select * from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_DATE_FORMAT                DD-MON-RR
1 rows selected
select * from nls_instance_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_DATE_FORMAT                MM/DD/RR
1 rows selected
That's not unexpected. Java applications are going to use the Java regional properties at least to specify a date format. SQL Developer has a config option for the date format, so it may well be specifying a different format.
They're all 3 (Toad, SQL*Plus, TOAD) so suspiciously consistent, that I'm questioning some of the fundamentals of the NLS setup.
I went ahead and looked via SQL*Plus from the server-side, & things are looking more consistently in-line with my expectations:

--=cfI'm not surprised that SQL*Plus from the Unix database server is going to have session-level settings that match the instance-level settings because there is probably nothing set in the Unix environment that would override the instance-level settings. There is probably no NLS_LANG or NLS_DATE_FORMAT set as environment variables and probably no central place to look for regional settings. Most applications, particularly Windows and Java apps, are going to have multiple places to look for that sort of information.

Trace in SQL plus

I tried to use SQL plus to trace what happens in the database (what queries are executed and such) when a certain function is performed in our information system...
But i cant get it working...
I cant seem to log in using our sysdba account...
probably im doing something wrong...
When i start the SQL plus
I login using a password (not the SYSDBA password)
I use the following syntax
Username: username@database
So for example for our test database
i use test@database
then the password...
And i get connected
But then when i try to find out the specific id for a specific user online at the moment i get errors (sorry for the bad explanation)...
Is there any way to monitor ALL what happens in the database?
for a period of time...
(since i am the only one online at the test database, then i wont have to filter anyhing...
any help is appreciated:)

Help - Oracle SQL Plus manipulation using JAVA

Hi ,
I want to invoke SQL*Plus from my Java program as well want to write some queries in the same PROCess. I am able to invoke SQL Plus and login into SQL Plus, but i don't know how to proceed further and write queries etc in the same script. My code is as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExecuteSql
public static void main(String args[])
String[] RunCommand = {"plus33w" , "username/password@dbaseregion" };
try
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(RunCommand);
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
} catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();
}

OCILogon2 fails to logon even though SQL*Plus succeeds

I have a problem with the following code in Oracle 10g r1:
CheckError(p_err,OCILogon2(p_env, p_err, &p_svc,
(CONST OraText *)"username01", (ub4)10,
(CONST OraText *)"password", (ub4)8,
(CONST OraText *)sServer, (ub4)15, OCI_DEFAULT));
OCILogon2 is returning -1 and OCIErrorGet called on p_err gives:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Oddly, when I try to call SQL*Plus and login with the same user name, same password, and same server, SQL*Plus logs on properly.
And this happens on my computer only, not on other computers.
Is there a cause I should be looking for?
-- Darren --

Apparently the following did the trick:
1. Uninstall the Oracle Client following the instructions at:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php
(I'm running Windows XP).
2. Reinstall the Instant Client (I used version 10.1.0.5).
3. Set the TNS_ADMIN and SQLPATH and PATH environment variables.

SQL Plus and ODBC w/different database types

In order to connect to Oracle lite, we go through ODBC in SQL Plus (ex:login/pw@ODBC:polite)
Can I utilize this method to connect SQL Plus to a SQL Server 7 database and from there run the COPY TO command to copy data into my Oracle database? If so, what do I need to install to make this work? Is there a specific version of SQL Plus that this works with?

examples:
- optimizer_mode is 'RULE' when I select using SQL*Plus and 'CHOOSE' when I use SQL*Plus Worksheet.
- large_pool_size is 32Mb when I select using SQL*Plus and 108Mb when I use SQL*Plus Worksheet.
etc.

First Login to Oracle 9i Personal SQL Plus after installation

I downloaded the Opacle 9i for Windows NT/2000/XP,3 ZIP
fiels andI extracted them into 3 special folders disk1,
disk2 and disk3 according the instructions.Also I
installed the JRE which is required for that.After the
installation of Oracle 9,when I wanted to use the SQL Plus
I could not do it because I had no the first login User
Name and Password.
For example,in Oracle 7 Personal for Windows 95 and in
Oracle 8i Personal for Windows 98,the first login User
Name is "scott" and the Password is "tiger".
I shall be great thankfull to you if you will let me know
how to perform the first login to the SQL Plus of Oracle
9i (User Name and Password).
With Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

in oracle9i all default users account are lock by default. so if you want to connect
first when you open sqlplus in user name type "/nolog"
sqlplus will open with no connection then issue the command.
conn / as sysdba
alter user scott account unlock;
conn scott/tiger
that is the procedure

How to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus .

how to login as DBA in oracle 9i from sql plus . ???

First you need to check whether your HR schema is still unlocked or not? If it is locked - then you have to unlock it. And, then you can connect the Hr schema.
But, i'm not sure - why you need system to log into the HR schema?

Oracle10g Developer Suite - Application Development - SQL Plus Login Info

I have installed Oracle10g Developer Suite and when I am trying to login into the sql*plus environment the username scott with the passcode tiger is not working. I have Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 as the database.
Can anyone help me in setting up the username and password to login into Sql*plus Release 10.1.0.4.2

It sounds like you may be new to Oracle and its products. I would recommend doing some reading.
Oracle 9.2 Net Services Admin Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96580/toc.htm
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_06/doc/dl/core/B16012_03/toc.htm
You create the "login" information when you install the database. If you are not the person who performed the installation, you will need to contact them or install it again. Also, be aware that the SCOTT schema is disabled by default in newer database versions for security reasons.
The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files can be found in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. This is the same for all Oracle products that use Sql-Net for database connections. You can also use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a pre-existing tnsnames.ora file (see previously mentioned documents).
The tnsnames.ora entry will be unique to your database and its listener however here is an example:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = someServer.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)

Login Error SQL Plus in Oracle9i

I installed completely Oracle9i on my system. I have to make databases, make forms and generate reports for my scool project. I cannot login to sql Plus using scott tiger . I think the problem is with HOST STRING. Can anyone help please.
Thank you
Sharif Vohra

it would help if you post the error message(s), if any, that you are receiving while connecting.
Did you install the database part (or the client tools only), and did you also create a
starter (or customized) database while installing Oracle?
