Unlocking scott after oracle 10g installation

I accidentally hit the ok button and did not get a chance to click on the password manager and unlock scott. Can any one tell me how to do it now that I have already installed Oracle on my computer?

Hello,
The previous post gave you the right answer.
However, if you want to check the status of all the Users account of your database, you
may use the following query:
alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';
select username, account_status, lock_date
from dba_users
order by account_status;More over, to change a User password you can execute the statement below:
alter user {color:red}username{color} identified by {color:red}password{color};Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

  • Simple insert, delete and update not working after oracle 10g installation

    Hello,
    I made a new installation of Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) and created a schema . Now i try to insert or update data using simple queries, but unfortunately nothing happens. I tried inserting or updating data even via sqlplus, but unfortunately the same result. Query takes infinite time to end, so i had to manually end it every time... No errors... No warnings... but takes long time... I have given all the required permissions to the schema but the same result. Can somebody help me figure out the problem?
    Tried creating a new table and the insert and delete are working fine... think the problem is with this table... Imported the rows of the table from another online database. I dont understand how this might be a problem.

  • OS IP change after Oracle 10g DB Installation

    I need to confirm what will be the effect if i change OS IP after Oracle Database Installation?
    Please guide
    Thanks,
    Waheed.

    When you change the IP address of the server, and you have used the hardcoded IP everywhere, you likely need to reconfigure the database control.
    How to do this has been posted here many times, and of course it also documented.
    Look for/search for emctl reconfigure.

    Oracle AS10g = 10.1.2.0.2 I presume...
    However, my first questions is still valid "The questions is if you followed EVERY step outlined in the Application Server Installation Guide? If you did, then there should be no errors."
    I have had similar issues when environment variables was still set during installations, ORACLE_HOME etc. You must unset those, as described in the Installation Guide, before starting an installations.
    Please check these two Metalink Notes:

  • Oracle 10g installation on Windows 7

    I am currently using Oracle 10g on my laptop running on Windows Vista. Now i am planning to upgrade my OS to Windows 7. My question here, is can I use the same Oracle 10g installable to install in windows 7 also ??
    is it possible ??
    thanks,
    JJ

    Possible yes? Brilliant no!
    Windows 7 is totally uncertified and unsupported with all Oracle products and if you have an issue there is essentially no support or patch available.
    Personally I think Vista a cruel joke so my recommendation would be to go to XP SP3 which at least has the attribute of stability or move to Linux which is what I did on one of my laptops.

  • SUNWsprox package with solaris 10 for Oracle 10g Installation....

    Hi
    I am in problem with a Solaris 10 package "SUNWsprox - Sun workshop Bundled 64-bit make library" for Oracle 10g Installation. I checked the CDs (In the /.../products) but did't found this packege. Can any one tell me please can I go without this package or where I found this package...Please Its very URGENT for me....
    Thanks
    Mohammed Tanvir

    Hi...
    I had the same issue, but found out that the SUNWsprox was replaced by SUNWsprot. The OUI 10.1 Release 2 will 'pass' as the doco in the Oracle quick install guide is wrong (as well as 10g Application Server).
    The only way to lay a 10g Release database on Solaris 10 is to lay the software doen only, then cd in the .../bin directory, step your Rdbms ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and of course the DISPLAY (is X-windowing into the server), and run dbca manually. Oracle 10g is a bit buggy.

  • Oracle 10g Installation Error on Windows 2008 server

    Hi Experts,
    I have tried to install Oracle 10g via "51036975 ORACLE 10.2.0.4 Failsafe Server 3.4.1.5 Windows 2008" as per note no. Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008. Server is 64 bit server.
    Oracle service is not getting started and showing as "starting" in services.msc. I cant stop the service. I have taken the restart of the server as well but no luck.
    Just before the end of installation of Oracle, one pop up box named isqlplussvc opened up stating as "Failed to start the service, Error:0, the operation completed successfully".
    Can you please suggest how to handle this error and start the service?
    Regards,
    Naresh.

    Hi All,
    Yes, I started with Failsafe server CD only. After trying installing Oracle couple of times, once the service didnt went into starting mode & it couldnt start as well. Then I started going ahead with SAP installation and later I found that the service got automatically started.
    I was under the impression that the service has to be started before going for SAP installation.
    Thanks all for your replies.
    Regards,
    Naresh.

  • Oracle 10g installation questions

    Hi,
    I tried to install Oracle 10g (Enterprise Edition) on Windows 2000 server, and encountered the following error when I used the Database Upgrade Assistance to ugrade one of my existing Oracle 8 database TEST.
    ORA-01658: Unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace USERS.
    I searched the forum, and seems that there is not enough space for my USERS tablespace. Is it the right solution?
    If I clicked Ignore for the above erro, another error appeared:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
    I don't have table or view in TEST database, it is just a database instance created by Oracle 8. Do I have to create tables or views in order to upgrade it to Oracle 10g database?
    I tried to upgrade an existing Oracle 8 database TEST1 which has data in it, and got the following error:
    ORA-01119: error in creating database file D:\oracle\oradata\test1\sysaux01.dbf.
    ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file.
    One last question is that after the failing of the DBUCA, I was told that the 10g was successfully installed on my server while no orcl database was created even if I chose
    to create a database orcl during my installation.
    The following are services running for 10g after the installation.
    OracleCSService Started
    OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus Started
    OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerEncapsulator
    OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerMasterAgent
    OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER10 Started
    Anybody has any idea what went wrong?
    Your early reply is greatly appreciated.
    Jane

    I believe the answers are:
    1. the Oracle client needs to be the same bits as the TimesTen server. i.e. if you have 64b TimesTen, then you will need 64b Oracle client. If you have 32b TimesTen then you will need 32b Oracle client.
    2. Yes. I believe you can install 64b TimesTen with 64b Oracle client and connect this to a 32b Oracle server. I dont have any idea about performance overhead of this configuration.

  • Oracle 10g Installation Craps Out - 4 Days now and still no database runnin

    I'm about to give up on Oracle 10g. I have been developping and installing Oracle 8 and 9i for 4 years without any problems but I can't seem to get anywhere with 10g. I'ts one error after another. Am I the only one to have these problems. I'm running XP with 1G memory + all service packs and updates installed. Why is this soooooo complicated.

    Hard to tell. I am leaning toward operator error as many of us have installed 8i, 9i 10gR1 and 10gR2 on Windows XP with latest service packs, online updates and AV protection with no issues.
    Are you installing form a DVD or a downloaded version?
    Did you do a checksum on your download if you downloaded?
    Do you have at least 2 GB of permanent Page file (swap)?
    Did you already create the loopback adaptor?

    Did you review the installation logs to see what the root cause of the error was?

    G.3 Reviewing the Log of an Installation Session
    During an installation, Oracle Universal Installer records all the actions that it performs in a log file. If you encounter problems during the installation, review the log file for information about possible causes of the problem. By default, the log files are located in the following directory:
    SYSTEM_DRIVE:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs
    Log filenames from interactive installations take the form:
    installActionsdate_time.log
    For example, if an interactive installation occurred at 9:00:56 a.m. on October 14, 2005, the log file would be named:
    installActions2005-10-14_09-00-56AM.log
