Hi ,

I am trying to create a database manually�using oracle 9i, on a windows 2000 machine. I have my init.ora and creation files ready.�

Using "oradim" i started a service for my new DB. I also�set the SID and other variables. At command prompt I issued the command "sqlplus /NOLOG". I got to the sql prompt. Next I issued the command "connect / as sysdba" . I get this message.

ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

I don't have the admin login for the machine. Is it necessary to perform the above operation. If so, is there a way around this.

Could anyone help me�with this.

Thanks , SriSai

Hello Knm Dibba,

Thanks for your reply. I tried your sujestion. I got this error.

ERROR:
ORA-24314: service handle not initialized

So I went and checked the services under the control panel ->Administrative tools, the OracleServices for my db had been started. Still this error persists.

My logon is under the ORA_DBA & Adminstrators groups.

Do I have to start up any other services ?

Thanks,
SriSai

Have you tried from DOS windows?:
C:>set oracle_sid=your-db-name
C:>svrmgrl (or sqlplus)
then connect AS SYSDBA
user internal/your-pwd
startup mount (or startup nomount...whatever)

Best luck

I have set the env variables like ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE & ORACLE_HOME on Dos. I've set these via the system properties -> Environment variables.

I can't use "Svrmgrl" & "Internal" since I'm using Oracle 9i.

"Sqlplus /Nolog" gets me to the Sql prompt. But not into the default user where i can run my DB creation script.

I can't understand why it says that the service handle has not been started , When its up and running ?
For another DB which is running everything works fine.

Could you throw some light on this ?

Thanks, Sai
