but with the same username and password i am not able to logon in sqlplus..

can anybody tell me the exact procedure, or what i m missing??

thnx

Make sure you have an Oracle password file

On UNIX should be under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows under $ORACLE_HOME/database

To create it, use the orapwd utility

It should be named orapw<SID> where <SID> is your ORACLE_SID

--sriram

Hi

At the command line you can type

sqlplus /nolog

SQLPLUS> connect sys/password as sysdba

Hope it helps.
