SQL*Plus login problems

Hi. I am just reading through my PL/SQL 101 book and exam guide for preparation for the 1Z0-007 exam. I have downloaded Oracle 9i and I cannot login to SQL+ at all. I want to use my database as a stand alone system for the time being until I can network my other computer with my new one.
All I want is to get into SQL+ so that I can practice pl/sql code for the exam.
Can anyone help me? What steps should I do?
thank you, comments and solutions are greatly appreciated.

If you are connecting a local default database (which you may be if I make a guess at your configuration), you don't need to enter anything in the host string field. Just enter the username and password.
If you are connecting to a remote database, or non-default database, you need to enter a connect string in the host strint field. To find your connect string, look in your tnsnames.ora file (in the network/admin directory) and you will see an entry for the default database you created. Use the value set for SERVICE_NAME.

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

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)
)

Unable to get SQL Plus login id & pw

Hi all, I am a beginner in using Oracle products.
Q1)
I am using windows vista and I have installed Oracle 10g on my machine, and when I tried to access SQL Plus, they prompted me for :
ID
Password
Host String
I do not know how to get/create those values. May I ask how to?
Q2)
How do I uninstall Oracle 10g from Windows Vista? I couldn't uninstall from the control panel.
Thanks!

On that page you had the choice of...
1. Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3)
Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista
2. Oracle Database 10g Companion CD Release 2 (10.2.0.3)
10203_companion_vista.zip (677,074,714 bytes)
Download latest Oracle Application Express (formerly HTML DB)
3. Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.3)
10203_client_vista.zip (616,067,114 bytes)
If you select the first one then that looks like the full database, so you have installed a database locally on your PC.
When you choose the starter database there should have been an option to set the default password for all the default users with an option (usually missed) to set different passwords for each of the default users.
It's difficult to recall the details without actually going through an install which isn't something I do every day.
Best bet is in the installation forum.

SQL Plus login

Installed Oracle 9i enterprise edition from disk set provided with course text on advanced database concepts.
Received registration key from oracle but no user name or password to open a session on SQL Plus. Cannot logon.
Does anyone have info on who to contact?

I followed your suggestion and pulled up the configuration assistant. I managed to create a password without being sure of anything I was doing and voile!
I was able to log on to SQL PLUS.
Thanks for the tip!

Block Sql Plus Login

Hi,
I have database 8.05. For client server application on the client side we mention
D:\ORACLE\BIN\F50RUN32.EXE c:\test\test.fmx test/test@test
Now anyone can logon to sql plus and if he knows sql plus as the username and password is there. I dont want to remove sql plus from each machine and at the same time i dont want to user to logon to sql prompt.
Operation system is windows NT.
Rgds

What you need to do is , give only CONNECT permissions to user TEST. So even if the user logs in SQLPLUS he wont be able to access any OBJECTS.
ALSO you need to create another Oracle user , which will have all the necessary permissions.
In your client application (FORMS), you need to connect using this new user after you have initially logged in using TEST user
Hope this helps

OC4J and SQL Plus: ORACLE_HOME problem

I installed (unzip) latest version of OC4J standalone. OS is Windows XP professional. After unziping I put enviroment varibles ORACLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME and started ocj4 -start. It works OK. But I cannot run SQL Plus anymore (because it has different ORACLE_HOME) . What should I do to run both: SQL Plus and OC4J (which are installed on the same computer)?

Hi All
Correct. Oracle application server wants to point ORACLE_HOME variable to its home directory and to smooth functionality of Oracle DB it also need same environment variable (ex sqlplus, sqlldr).
Try this, this may work.
1) Do not set ORACLE_HOME environment variable in profiles. (In UNIX systems do not set ORACLE_HOME in .profiles files and windows system does not set it using -> System Properties (Right Click My Computer -> proprieties) -> Advanced -> Environment variables). If it is already set please unset that.
2) Open cmd and check ORACLE_HOME is set or not (in windows u can use echo %ORACLE_HOME% and Unix/Linux u can use echo $ORACLE_HOME). If it is set please unset ORALCE_HOME environment variable.
3) To start application server open cmd, follow step 2 and set ORALCE_HOME home to oracle application server home and then u can run the command to start oracle application server. If u want to use script to start app server what u have to do is u can set ORALCE_HOME environment variable inside script and point it to app server home.
4) If u want to run the Oracle DB utilities please open the another cmd , follow the step 2 and set ORACLE_HOME environment variable to Oracle DB home. And then execute DB utilities commands.
Note: - What we have to do is simply point to correct oracle home to before execute commands
Thanks

Discoverer plus login problem

hai,
i getting error while login to discoverer plus 10.1.2.0.2
is " Error
Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
if i worked with discoverer viewer, it working fine
where is the problem, please let me know it.

It appears Java pop-up window could not be opened, You could try
1. You can uncheck the 'Turn on Pop-up Blocker' under Privacy tab in IE
2. Turn off the Google/Yahoo pop-up blocker if you have these plug-ins
3. Also, ensure you can download ActiveX Control signed and unsigned with prompting enabled
4. After entering the user/name password, press Control Key down then click the login button

SQL*Plus Installation Problem (Ora-12705)

Hi,
I bought a guide to sql featuring Oracle by phillip J.Pratt published by course Technology include Oracale8i Personal Edition realease 8.1.5 for Microsoft Window 98 and Oracle Developer 6.0. I follow the documentation to install. I think i got right configuration (i have the tnslsnr window display and Oracle8i database started) but when I login (user:system and password:manager)it doen't work and it give me the error Ora-12705: invalid or unknow NLS parameter value specified. What can i do with this? I appreciate for yours help.
~linh
null

I got this error message too when I install the 9i client in my pc. You can find the NLS_LANG in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If you have multiple oracle home, you might need to check each of the entry.
I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.

and which user the system is asking for
Thanks

Hi,
1. Check if the scott or sys or apps user is locked by giving
SQL> select username from dba_users where account_status <> 'OPEN';
The usually occurs when the account is locked...
If your are not able to login to sql itself...set the environment and try the same..

[urgent]sql plus 's user login

how do i know my sql plus login name and password? when i install...they never ask me to set my own login name and password...

Hi 489652,
Which version of oracle you are using?
Oracle 8i & below sys password is change_on_install & system password is manager
You can even login as internal with a password oracle.
if 9i & above you need to provide oracle password for sys & system and no internal login.
What ever version you use this should work as generic
01. Login as oracle user in unix box in windows as admin.
02. export ORACLE_SID=dbname in unix . set ORACLE_SID=dbname in windows
03. sqlplus "/ as sysdba" you should be loggin as sys ..(as oracle admin)
Moreover, please remember when you raise this kind of question try to include the version of oracle and OS.
Cheers,
kamalesh jk
