RE: 8.0.5 on NT4 media failure

Ruth,  

I don't think there was "as sysdba" option in 8.0.5. If NT user is member of ORA_DBA group, he should be able to "connect internal" (if I remember correctly) and start the instance.

Subject: 8.0.5 on NT4 media failure

We have experienced a media failure on an 8.0.5 db on NT4. This is an old instance that no one who is hear now knows about. Is there a way to log into server manager and start the instance for recovery? What permissions does the NT user have to have to connect / as sysdba? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

TIA,
Ruth
