It opens up a sqlplus session session/shell on the server without logging into a database. The 9i version of sqlplus does not allow for a command line: sqlplus / as sysdba command. You have to login to sqlplus and when prompted for the username then add / as sysdba. The /nolog allows you to script running sqlplus and then having the connect / as sysdba as the first line in your sqlscript ie: sqlplus /nolog @myscript.sql

myscript.sql:

   connect / as sysdba
   select name from v$database;
   ....

Hi!

I was wondering what

sqlplus /nolog

actually does on Unix? Is it only used for not listing username/password when doing a ps ? Or anything else?

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
