Learn from my mistakes! Or "Helpful DBA hint of the day"

In 9.0.1, when you create a DB, you would "connect / as sysdba". However, if you also run "catalog" and "catproc" while connected like this, Oracle Advanced Symmetric Replication WILL NOT WORK. You *MUST* be connected as "SYS as sysdba".

It's taken me forever to find this. The biggest clue I had was a number of ORA-06550 errors in the create logs that point to a character set mismatch. Of course, I found an article on Metaclink that said this may be normal, so I ignored them at first. (I can't find that article again!)

I know I've sent out at least one other message like this, but these little things can really come back and haunt a person. And maybe the next time I have this and send a message to the list, someone with a real memory can help me!

Enjoy! :)
