Answer: ACF
connect username/password@IP:port/service(sid)
Connects a given username to the specified database.
Format
CONNECT username [@connect-identifier];
Command Parameters
-
username
-
Represents the username with which you want to connect to the database. You will be prompted for a password after you enter a username and optionally, a connect-identifier.
connect-identifier
-
This parameter is optional. It is an Oracle Net Services connect identifier for the database to which you want to connect. The exact syntax depends upon the Oracle Net Services communications protocol your Oracle installation uses.
Usage Notes
-
The username and password must be valid for the database to which you are trying to connect. The username you specify must have the SYSDBA privilege. You do not have to include
AS SYSDBA
on theCONNECT
command because SYSDBA is the default setting for this command. -
If the
CONNECT
command returns an error, check to see that you specified a validconnect-identifier
.
Command Examples
-
Example 1
-
This example connects to the default database on the local system.
DGMGRL> CONNECT sys; Password: password Connected.
Example 2
-
This example connects to a remote database whose
connect-identifier
isNorth_Sales.example.com
.DGMGRL> CONNECT sys@North_Sales.example.com; Password: password Connected.
Example 3
-
This example connects to a database using
CONNECT '/'
so that connection credentials are not visible on the command line:DGMGRL> CONNECT /@North_Sales.example.com;
You must set up Oracle Wallet or SSL to use
CONNECT '/'
. By setting up Oracle Wallet or SSL, you can write a script to securely start and run the observer as a background job without specifying database credentials in the script.
