I'va two questions:

  1. 7.3.4 on Unix, I've ORACLE_SID set in the environment. I can't use
    "sqlplus uname/passwd" to connect database, I got "ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE
    not available", and some OS error "permission denied". There is no other instance on the box. But both "sqlplus uname/passwd@$ORACLE_SID" and
    "sqlplus uname/passwd_at_sid" works fine. Further I found if I login in as
    oracle with the same ORACLE_SID setting, "sqlplus uname/passwd" works fine too. What is the problem, I mean as long as ORACLE_SID is set, "sqlplus uname/passwd" should works to any user, right?
  2. I had this several times: after I issue "shutdown" (normal) database in svrmgrl on UNIX, I recognized there are still connections to the database. So basically the shutdown will hanging there. The problem is no more new connection can be made since the shutdown is in process. On NT, I can stop Oracle service to solve this problem. But what shoild I do on Unix? Kill the process one by one? Some times we just re-boot the box but this obviously not a right solution.

Any help will be appreciated. Received on Fri Jun 30 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
