Re: NEWBIE needs help on how to start starter db

Hi Richard,

Connect INTERNAL is reserved for the Server Manager product. To connect using sqlplus, try using a combination of SCOTT/TIGER, SYSTEM/MANAGER or SYS/CHANGE_ON_INSTALL SCOTT/TIGER if present, will contain the EMP and DEPT tables which Oracle use for training.

SYSTEM/MANAGER and SYS/CHANGE_ON_INSTALL are the DBA accounts, and enable you to create users, tablespaces and other DBA activities.

Hope this helps
Andrew
