Hi!

I installed oracle 8.1.7 on my linux box. It runs quite well. I can create tables and so on. I can use svrmgr to start and stop my database, but I cant shutdown from sqlplus. I need that to change CHARACTER SET. oracle_at_coconut:~> sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Mon Nov 18 21:52:04 2002

Enter user-name: SYS AS SYSDBA
Enter password:

Connected to:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.1 - Production With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.0.1 - Production

SQL> shutdown normal;
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL> Please help - I'm stuck
