Re: Oracle for linux: login denied

I had a similar problem with 8.04 on HP-UX 10.20. I was trying to connect by typing:

$ sqlplus username_at_database

and then supplying the password at the sqlplus prompt. While this works for 7.3 it does not work for 8.04. I found that you must supply the @database portion after the password; the way you used to have to do it under 6.1.

$ sqlplus username/password_at_database
