Oracle questions

[kcarrera]

I just installed Oracle 8i. However, i can not seem to log in as the SYSDBA. What is the userID/Password to get in as DBA.

Thanks for your help,

Ken

The login id could be "sys" and the password could be blank, as in SQL server.

I know how to login any 7.x Oracle DB, but that's no help. Oracle doesn't allow blank passwords, if my memory serves. Doesn't the install let you set the id? Even more no help.

Try

username:sys
password:dba

SYSDBA is a system privilege. SYS is a default user with the SYSDBA privilege. Other users must be granted SYSDBA in order to perform administrative tasks. You can query V$PWFILE_USERS to see who has SYSBDA or SYSOPER privileges. by the way, i think the initial password for SYS is CHANGE_ON_INSTALL, either in lowercase or uppercase, i'm not so sure.

try,

username: dba
password: sql

try,

username: qball
password: give_up_reinstall

even less help.
