Learning Linux Shell Scripting - Second Edition

Switching to an Oracle user

First, run the following command to log in as an oracle user:

          $ su - oracle
  

In this case, the user was a student and after running this command, the user will be oracle.

Now, log in to your Oracle Database by running the following command:

          $ sqlplus sys as sysdba
  

Enter the password you set earlier when installing Oracle. After the successful execution of this command, you will get the SQL> prompt:

[oracle@localhost work]$ sqlplus sys as sysdba
