Your oracle account has been succesfully created with the user
login:
and password:
To access your account you will need to have the following four lines in your .profile. HOWEVER, these should be added as system environment variables when you log in, so if you do not have ORACLE paths in your .profile already, then you do not need to do anything. If you have other ORACLE variables set, you need to edit them to those below:
If you are running your JDBC program here, you will need to append your classpath to give java the driver location:
export CLASSPATH=/opt/Oracle8i/products/8.1.7/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip:$CLASSPATH
If you are running from your own machine, make sure to have your driver location in your CLASSPATH setting.
in subsequent logins to the oracle server (ect-sun.ecst.csuchico.edu) you should be able to invoke 'sqlplus' from your shell command prompt and connect to your oracle 8 account using your login and password. Once you enter sqlplus remember that you can always use the help command to obtain information about a particular topic by typing help "topic"
Upon your first login, the system will ask you for a new password. If you later want to change your password again, issue the command: alter user USERNAME identified by NEWPASSWORD;
Thus, if you are wanting to use this new account to test java connectivity, remember to first log into oracle so that your new password can be set.
Once the password is set, you then can do JDBC.
