Tim / Peter / Michael Thanks for the information. I was afraid of that. We have a patching mechanism and need to logon as sys to grant access to sys objects for part of the process. (to grant select on sys.dba_free_space and execute on sys.dbms_util).
However, the patching mechanism only does a regular connect and not "as sysdba"--- DARN! - Will have to change automation scripts if we upgrade ... and I was hoping this would be easy to slide in :-( - Babette -----Original Message----- Tim Gorman Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 1:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L It's a 9i thing, across all platforms. on 8/16/03 9:29 PM, Babette Turner-Underwood at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > 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.
