"sqlplus / as sysdba" and "sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba"

Hi,
What is the difference between "sqlplus / as sysdba"
and
"sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba"?
when "sqlplus / as sysdba", it could not "alter user system identified by password;
when "sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba", it could "alter user system identified by password"
why??
Thanks.

What is the difference between "sqlplus / as sysdba"
and
"sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba"?
No difference.
when "sqlplus / as sysdba", it could not "alter user system identified by password;
when "sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba", it could "alter user system identified by password"
why??
Don't know what you mean :

Error:ora-01031 Insuffiecient Privileges when using "conn / as sysdba"?

HI all,
I used oracle to login and used dbca to create a database.
export ORACLE_SID=db9i
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
Error:ora-01031 Insuffiecient Privileges
Notes: I can use "conn sys/pwd as sysdba" to connect instance.

Verify your oracle installation as of document available at this URL : http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_10gdb_install.html

Diffrence between "/ as sysdba" and "sys/pswrd as sysdba"

thanks a lot for your answers...
but what does OS authorization and database authorization means???
as for example...i dont think we can bounce a database using sys/password@sid.
for that we have to use / as sysdba...
(if am not wrong)
thanks...when you installed Oracle in UNIX for example, you login as Oracle/passwdnix and then did the installation. so Oracle user is the owner of the oracle.
so when you launched sqlplus / as sysdba, oracle will check whether you logged in to the O/S using Oracle/passwdnix or not.
if you connect using sqlplus sys/pwdorcl@sid, oracle will authenticate your connection using database user that you created when you create the database after installing oracle. (remember in the OUI, they asked you to put password for SYS, SYSTEM, SYSMAN).
and @sid need listener to be up, can be done either in the server or client side based on the entry in your tnsnames.ora.
sqlplus / as sysdba does not require listener to be up but has to be done in the server side.

Sqlplus doesn't work using /nolog

I need startup oracle but when I write sqlplus /nolog in the command line instead of have a message telling that I'm connect to an instance idle I just got a help message telling me how to use the sqlplus command. This is pretty wierd,
I get the same message even if I try using a command like 'sqlplus /as sysdba'. What's wrong with sqlplus ?. thanks in advance.
Edited by: Guido-Granobles on 02-jul-2010 15:29

I write:
csi2.com:oracle:/home/oracle $ sqlplus /nolog
and I get:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
-C <version> Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
version specified by <version>. The version has
the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0
-L Attempts to log on just once, instead of
reprompting on error.
-M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
have the form:
HTML ON [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
[ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] ON]
-R <level> Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
that interact with the file system. The level can
be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
disables all user commands interacting with the
file system.
-S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
commands.
<logon> is: (<username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | /)
[AS SYSDBA | AS SYSOPER] | /NOLOG
Specifies the database account username, password and connect
identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
The AS SYSDBA and AS SYSOPER options are database administration
privileges.
The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
database.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

Strange problem with SQLPLUS when client and server on the same box

Hi,
I have the problem with SQLPLUS when clinet and server on the same machine.
With client and server on the same machine i am running the command
sqlplus -l username/password@connect_identifier as SYSDBA.
With this command, even if you pass in wrong username or wrong password or both as wrong you can able to connect to database and execute queries.
Once Connect_identifier is correct and trying to log in as SYSDBA ,sqlplus will log in to DB with any username and password.
How to get rid of this behaviour. Is there any way to do this.
I am running this command by creating a process in C#

Thanks for the info.
How does Oracle/SQLPLUS allows any username or password to log in to DB with SYSDBA Privillages? What is the concept behind this.?
This is explainted in the above mentioned link:
Operating system authentication takes precedence over password file authentication. If you meet the requirements for operating system authentication, then even if you use a password file, you will be authenticated by operating system authentication.

Oracle Client and SqlPlus on Mac Os X Leopard Configuration Script

Hello,
I have just written 2 bash scripts for the installation and configuration of SqlPlus and the Oracle Client v10.2.
The first script MacSqlPlus.sh install the client set the environment variables, the second TNSconnectMac.sh help to configure the tnsnames.ora. They can be found here
http://www.danilovizzarro.it/script/MacSqlPlus.sh
http://www.danilovizzarro.it/script/TNSconnectMac.sh
In order to have them working it's required to download the oracle client basic lite and SqlPlus in the /var/root directory.
A step-by-step tutorial can be found here http://www.danilovizzarro.it/?p=10
Soon I will try to upload a demonstration video.
Your comments are always appreciated.

Doug,
It is possible that there could be data corruption, because this is not a tested, thus not supported, setup. I hope that helps!

Unable to connect to 10g database using Devloper 6i and SQLPLUS 8

Dear all Developers,
I have installed 10g with patch 10.2.0.3 and developer 6i, i am not able to access the database with Forms Devloper 6i, Report Devloper 6i and SQLPLUS 8 (installed by default with DS) when i try to initiate connection the sessions crashes. (DB character set AL32UTF8)
Please note we already have ORACLE RAC 10g version 10.2.0.3 (DB character set AR8MSWIN1256) developer can connect to this db with no errors
Please suggest how i can solve this problem
Thanks
Zeeshan Sheikh

First of all you need to be on Patch set 18 of Oracle Forms 6i -- but I think you will still have problems with the character set you are using... but you'll need to search out details.

Q about SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges

Was surprised to see that session_roles for super user sys was empty but of course this user has all the privileges that go into the standart set of roles that are typically created with a new database anyway. But, does anyone know why session_privs dosen't show the privileges SYSDBA or SYSOPER. I am aware that these two privileges cannot be granted to roles since roles are not available before databse startup but don't see why they should not be listed in session_privs for the super user.

SYSDBA
A special database administration role that contains every system privilege with ADMIN OPTION, and SYSOPER system privilege. SYSDBA also permits CREATE DATABASE actions and time-based recovery.
SYSOPER
A special database administration role that permits a database administrator to perform STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, ALTER DATABASE OPEN/MOUNT, ALTER DATABASE BACKUP, ARCHIVE LOG, and RECOVER, and includes RESTRICTED SESSION privilege.
SESSION_PRIVS
SESSION_PRIVS lists the privileges that are currently available to the user.
Column Datatype NULL Description
PRIVILEGE
VARCHAR2(40)
NOT NULL
Name of the privilege
Oracle hide some information belonged to it. Administrators can not see all to 100%.

Sqlplus / and sqlplus /nolog

Hi,
What does / means ?
Is it a special user ? or a shortcut ?
Thanks

OPS$ORACLE is an "externally authenticated" user, in your case authenticated by OS. See http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/users.htm#17308
When you connect using sysdba or sysoper, then you are sys or public user, no matter what username/password you provide :
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

DOS command "sqlplus /nolog @file" and "sqlplus user / password @file

It's very strange what j've observed:
J've two files *.sql :
-- 1:
file_with_connect.sql which contains 3 lines :
connect <user>/<password>@tnsname
select count(*) from <table_name>;
exit
-- 2:
file_without_connect.sql which contains only:
select count(*) from <table_name>;
exit
table <table_name> isn't empty (it contains 1 row)
-- 1:
When J execute from DOS (on the client):
sqlplus /nolog @file_with_connect.sql le result is 0 rows in table <table_name>
-- 2:
When J execute from DOS :
sqlplus <user>/<password>@tnsname @file_without_connect.sql le result is: 1 row in table <table_name>
I use the same connection, tnsname, table.
Why the result isn't the same ?
There is no error in my alertXXXX.log

Hi Mustafa
The table <table_name> that j've used exists only in one database.
It's tnsname is ok on the server, on the client it was defined 2 times ! (but the same) in the file tnsname.ora. J've modify the client tnsname.ora.
But, j'm not sure it was the reason of our problem: the error isn't regular (sometimes) so j can't verify that it will never appear.
Any other idea?

Query Program ! use this for your query's like SQLPlus , copy-paste and run

H!
Like the Subject Title:
If you have PHP and Oracle then you can use this if you are learning the query's or you don't wanna use SQLPlus.
BTW this is my first script, but it works fine here.
//the code
<?//made by [email protected]
IF($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' AND isset($_POST['username']) AND isset($_POST['password'])) {
//gebruik het juiste dll bestand.
dl("php_oci8.dll");
define("USERNAME",$username);
define("PASSWORD",$password);
$conn      = OCILogon(USERNAME,PASSWORD);
$sql      = stripslashes($sql);
IF($btnRollback){
     ocirollback($conn);
     echo "Rollback done !";
IF($btnCommit){
ocicommit($conn);
echo "Committed !";
IF($btnVersion){
     echo OCIServerVersion($conn);
IF($btnSql){
$stmt      = OCIParse($conn,$sql);
IF(OCIExecute($stmt) === TRUE){
          $msg = "The Query was oke !";

          $column_type[$i] = OCIColumnType($stmt,$i);     //extra info

But your script is not outputing the result of the query. So how do we view the returned resultset.

'sqlplus /' v.s. 'sqlplus / as sysdba'

I have a RAC with two nodes. on one node I can log in as 'sqlplus /'; on the other, it doesn't work. I can only log in as 'sqlplus / as sysdba'. I compared the parameters and they are the same on both nodes. Why is that? Thanks.

As a minimum you should always include the 4-digit version number and the full O/S name and version, in everyone of your posts, in order to allow people to help you. No one here keeps track of here configuration and will remember what you are running.
sqlplus / is a legitimate login when you have an externally identified oracle account with the same name as the current O/S user.

"sqlplus / as sysdba" and "sqlplus /nolog;conn / as sysdba"
