    Hi All

    I am writing a shell script to connect directly to sys user as a dba. However I cannot write something 'sqlplus sys as sysdba' as it gives me the error (I am on 9i with RH 7.2) it says the syntax is not correct. I tried even sqlplus / nolog but it also gives error for that. What can I do as I want to connect as sysdba even when database is down using shell script.

    Hi Amol,
    I tried this code and it works.

    sqlplus -s '<'<'EOF'
    sys/password as sysdba
    spool sss.txt;
    select sysdate from dual;
    spool off;
    exit
    EOF


    cat sss.txt

    SYSDATE

    PS: Don't put any quotes in the first line. I put it because the due to vbcode some characters were not displaying in the message.

    You can also start with sqlplus /nolog and then do a conn / as sysdba - which is what you need to do when creating a database in 9i.

    I wrote a the following script which works with problems
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    sqlplus -s < sqlplus /nolog
    conn /as sysdba
    startup
    exit
    EOF
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It gives the following problem

    ERROR:
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory

    ORACLE instance started.

    Database Buffers 67108864 bytes
    Redo Buffers 532480 bytes
    Database mounted.
    Database opened.


    Now what can be the problem as I am not machine with 512 m RAM. I searched on error code but there is no good answer about startups.. Why is it creating problems.

    Hi,

    Can you check you oracle executable file permission. It should set to setuid and setgid.

    chmod u,g+s filename should do the trick.
