Yes, they do. So does Oracle.

Yes. Quite a few in fact.

Even Microsoft's Enterprise Manager requires a connection string. You might not see it but it's there. Hidden behind all those dialogue boxes.

There are always two users created for you: SYS and SYSTEM.
But I suggest you don't touch them until you know a bit more
about Oracle.
Try SYSMAN. The default password is usually "oracle".

There should be a "SQL" window in there somewhere. That's where you can type SQL to do whatever you want. Very similar to the "script" window in Microsoft's EM. If you want assistance in typing the SQL itself, then SQL Developer is the tool to use. Read on the help about the connection string, it's really not very hard. You'll need "netmgr" as well to create the connection string. Received on Sun Sep 06 2009 - 01:14:23 CDT
