The following is database administration tip #1 from "30 tips in 30 minutes," brought to you by the IOUG. Return to the main page for more tips on this topic.
It's time to get used to controlling your database from SQL*Plus rather than server manager. Yet many DBAs still use server manager for tasks like startup and shutdown.
To connect as internal in SQL*Plus, connect as SYSDBA as any user who possesses the SYSDBA privilege. You cannot provide the password on the command line. You must use the /nolog option.
LINUX> sqlplus /nolog,br>
SQL> Connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
To connect as internal in export or import, place your connect string in the quotation marks within a parameter file like this:
USERID = "sys/pinnacle as sysdba"
