Hello Faculties,
I've a windows server running Oracle9i for testing purpose. I use the command connect / as sysdba at the server and am able to log into oracle!

But when i checked for Windows users and groups i did'nt find the req OSDBA dba ORA_DBA and OSOPER oper ORA_OPER groups at my server.
Am i not using OS authentication then?

And sorry for such a newbie question?

Thanks in advance
Debian

You are probably using an oracle password file to log in as sys.

Also, it is a bad idea to do your daily work as the sys user. Create yourself a new user for you to use for testing and development and any other work. Use sys only for installation and upgrades and critical administration activities.
