In his next post in this series Ed talks about missing password files. Edward starts by talking about the fact that you can no longer connect internal in 9i and you can no longer connect just as SYS without AS SYSDBA. He demonstrates that any user granted SYSDBA is connected to the database as SYS.
Then Edward gets onto the issue for this post, that fact that if you have upgraded to 9i then you can no longer connect as sysdba whilst specifying a TNS alias in the connect string. The issue is the subject of his post, a missing password file. Ed covers AS SYSDBA, password files, orapwd and how remote privileged connections work very well. This is a great short article and again it’s available here.
