Hi All,
I'm using oracle 8i, win2k,
and set the parameter remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive

SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;

USERNAME                       SYSDB SYSOP
------------------------------ ----- -----
INTERNAL                       TRUE  TRUE
SYS                            TRUE  TRUE

But when I tried to login from client(sqplus release 8.0.6.0.0 from oracle
developer 6i), and the error occured:

SQL> connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

How to solve the problem?
TIA

No i am not running 66% disk space.

Had you defined properly the tablespaces?
Yes i had defined properly the tablespaces(initially yes)but later i 
changed it to the default table space i.e 'system'.

Had you set properly the .ora files and parameters?
Can u explain your this point in breif i didnt understand it.I had 
enabled the tracing in init.ora but coult not find anything.Enabling it 
slows down the 7th site and all the other sites too .

You *must* have the Oracle client software installed to access an Oracle 
database. No matter which "path" you try to take (e.g., ODBC, MS ADO 
Oracle driver, etc.), they all end up "talking" to the Oracle server via 
the Oracle client software.

Whilst what you say is correct, there are a couple of workarounds that I 
have used in the past.

The first is to intall Oracle onto a Citrix server and run any Oracle 
systems through Citrix. This works well and we have transatlatic users quite

happily running our Oracle applications.

The other method that I am just starting to look at involves writing an ASP 
on a web server containing the Oracle client and supplying the data through 
HTTP as XML.

This is still in the early stages at the moment but works well for read-only

access to Oracle databases.

Darren Collard

Subject: Help:Connecting to an Oracle database in Visual Studio .NET
From: "Jon King" <utahking@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 16:26:52
X-Message-Number: 5

I am new to Oracle, I have worked with SQL Server and interbase with 
little trouble, but all my attempts to connect to a recently installed 
Oracle database have failed.
This is my setup:
database name: guru.xxxxxxx.xxxx.edu
SID: guru
my connection string: "Data Source=guru;User Id=SYS;Password=xxxx"

I am not sure if Oracle is set up right or not, I just ran the setup and 
left everything at the default, giving the database the name above. I can 
see the database in Enterprise Manager on my remote computer and can 
connect to port 7778 and 443 on the web, I just cant access it via .NET, 
programming in C#.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Jon King

Hi
I am using discoverer version 4.0. When I created a report it didn't show
the date fields. Only the date field is invisible and all other fields are
visible. 

I would like to know what is the cause for this and how can I rectify this? 
I appreciate your help!

Subject: How to get latest inserted record in a table
From: "sridhar" <raosridhar_d@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 21:34:06
X-Message-Number: 8

Hello,
   It would be great help if you could answer the following problem.
I have a table with a colomn type date and some other coloumns. There is 
no primary key for this table i.e There is no way of uniquely identifing a 
row. For a same date and time there might be 100's of records inserted. 
Only discrimination between rows can be done if there is milliseconds part 
in date column. But I found that there is no milliseconds part in date 
coloumn in Oracle.
 I need to find latest record  for specific date from the table.
I prefer not to do any DDL operations.

Thank you,
Sridhar.
