Hi,

This is taken from the Oracle 9i New Features documentation....

---------------------------------------------------------------------
CONNECT INTERNAL and CONNECT INTERNAL/PASSWORD are not supported in Oracle9i. Instead, the following are the exact equivalents:

CONNECT/ as SYSDBA
CONNECT username/password AS SYSDBA
---------------------------------------------------------------------


If you use connect / as sysdba you will connect to the SYS schema and should be exactly the same as connect internal.
connect username/password will give you the same privileges but place you in the schema identified by 'username'

Cheers
