Hello,

I am having a problem with Oracle 8 on NT. I have a Oracle8 book that tells me to do this:

sql>connect sys/passwd
sql>grant sysoper to scott;
error message
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

sql>grant sysdba to scott;
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Why???

To try to understand, with svrmgr30 i do:

svrmgr>connect internal/passwd as sysoper; connected.
My reaction: sysoper role exists!
svrmgr>grant sysoper to scott;
ORA-01994: GRANT failed: cannot add users to public password file svrmgr>connect internal/passwd as sysdba; connected.

if i try to do
svrmgr>connect sys/passwd as sysoper
i have the message
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

It is my first experience with Oracle . If can, please help me. thanks in advance.

...And excuse me if i dont speak very well English.

Manuel.
