Re: Help: How do you connect sys as sysdba in sqlplus

Hey Mike,

You cannot make a local connection (connect without using @alias) on a client machine. You need a tnsnames.ora file (or OID, names server, etc) that provides a connect string to your database. So then, if you created an alias of orcl.world, you could:

C:/> sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect sys/password_at_orcl.world as sysdba
