Hello!

I am new to ORACLE. Please, help me! I have installed Oracle Database10g Personal Edition and now my computer is running very slowly. I want to be able to stop the database (as to free resources)and start it at any time. But I can't stop it. When I log online as SYS with SYSDBA privileges and try to shutdown, it asks me for the host and database credentials. In the Preferences I set all of them with username SYS and same password (not SYS). But when I test, it writes that SYS should log on as SYSDBA (although I've logged as SYSDBA) and also the shutdown operation fails. So how can I easily stop this database?


Thank You very much!

You can turn down the services in your control panel.That would free all your resources.

No, you only *think* that you've logged in as SYSDBA (because SYS is a SYSDBA). Well, that's not enough - you have to tell that to Oracle. See this example; perhaps it'll be helpful.
C:\>sqlplus sys as sysdba
