SQL Plus Question

Hi,

I have Oracle 9i installed on my machine. I am trying to use SQL Plus, but it keeps asking me for the log on information. The user name, password, and host string. What am I supposed to enter in, so I can log on and use SQL Plus?

Thanks.

Val

What is the actual error message? which user you want to connect with? for system or sys you suppose to connect as SYS DBA, but rest of just pass user, password and host string.
If you are running only one database you dont need to pass host string at the time of log on.

Hi,

if the database resides on the same machine you are working on you can use the following:

when prompt for username+password+host just type / at the username.

if the database is on a remote server you can ask the dba to define an ops user so you will not need to use password when entering (identification is done on the os level).

if you have any further questions you are wellcome to ask.

Galit.
