Following are the steps to create a user ( Schema ) in oracle default database known as orcl.
1. Log into oracle using SQLPlus.
C:/>sqlplus /nolog
2. Connect to the database with the desired schema name and password. Here, I am connecting with user name greg with password greg.
connect greg/greg@orcl as sysdba;
3. Now that, you are logged in to SQLPlus, create the user and unlock the account.
create user greg identified by greg account unlock;
grant ALL PRIVILEGES to greg;
If you want to connect with the Thin driver, you must specify the port number and SID. Default SID ( system identifier ) is orcl for default orcl db.
For example, if you want to connect to the database on host
myhost
that has a TCP/IP listener up on port 1521, and the SID
orcl , the connection url is.
jdbc:oracle:thin:greg/greg@myhost:1521:orcl
Oracle jdbc driver is : oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
Always use oracle6 driver which is the latest.
