In Oracle9i, SYS requires connecting as a privileged user using the sysdba parameter. This is equivalent to "connect internal" in Oracle8i which is now obsolete in Oracle9i.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 12:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have created my first 9i database on OS/390 v2.10. On my Oracle 8i instance, I can connect to the database using: sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] HOWEVER, In Oracle 9i, I cannot do this. I am FORCED to connect using: sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sysdba I was wondering if this was a new 9i "feature" or if it was configurable? Or just a weird thing because of the mainframe environment. Comments please.
