Naveen,

Have you tried it?

I keep saying this over and over - all DBA's should be able to create a test instance (on your desktop, your server or someplace) and try things to see what happens.

It is the best way to learn.

Hi All,

Just a few thought questions on 8i

Lets assume that I change the Sys/Internal password and forget it. What will happen if....

I'm using remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive
remote_login_passwordfile=shared

Can i simply shutdown the instance change the parameter from exclusive to none. restart and connect as internal on the local machine?

Can i recreate the password file giving the new password?

Regards,
Naveen
