Re: Personal edition of Oracle 8i

Hi,
Did the default install. Have tried connecting through sqlplus using a variety of usernames. The Global Name of the database is gdw.oracle and the SID is obviously gdw.

Have tried:
username - scott_at_gdw
passwd - change_on_install, manager

and various other combinations, names etc.

When I check what processes are running TNSLSNR.exe is there as is oracle.exe but not those you suggested below...

:-(
