SYS Permissions [message #126742]

Hi,

I have an Oracle8 database on a Windows2000 server. I can connect to the database as the SYS user using SqlPlus but when I type in the command: 'shutdown immediate' I get the message... unknown command beginning "shutdown i..." - rest of line ignored.

When I type in: 'show user' it displays the message... User is SYS.

I thought I should be able to shutdown the database.

I didn't setup the database and there is no support available, I'm also new to Oracle DB Admin.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

S.

You need to use svrmgrl instead of sqlplus for Oracle8:

svrmgr> connect internal
svrmgr> shutdown immediate
svrmgr> exit

Best regards.
