Viewing available databases with password and username

[kmpathy]

I am new Sql Plus

Want to know the command for viewing databases avaialble using default password and username on my co. server.. (example : dir command for viewing files) help me.

To view the database in the server ,you need to login first to the server using
user name,password and connection string.

[debasisdas]

You can use the following code for selecting the name of the database to which you are connected.

 select name from v$database;

but normal users don't have the previliges to select form the above mentioned table.

[kmpathy]

Thanks for your reply,

but it says

SELECT name FROM v$database
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

what to do ?

actually i used the scott/tiger and connected ? is this correct

[debasisdas]

but normal users don't have the previliges to select form the above mentioned table.

I have already told you that.

ask your DBA to grant you the required priviliges.

You can also try:

select instance_name from v$instance
 

It will give you the instance name you have logged in to. But again you might need privileges to run the above query!!

Don't try to access anything for which you don't have permission.

It seems you are trying to hack somthing .

I am really sorry i can't help you in this case.

This is strictly against forum Rules.

Hi,

In case if you really need access to some database instances/data dictionary views, then you can of course raise a request with your higher level managers who would help you getting the access rights/privileges.

No company will ask you to work without giving you privileges if it is worth to be given and is a part of your requirement!!

Do you mean your supervisor have given you rights to hack the password of the database in any way by hook or cook??

[kmpathy]

Even i have authorisation letter.. the fellow sitting above is the only person and treating himself as a monopoly.. and not interested to share is level.. thanks anyway i will sort it out with my superiors and get the privileges and come to forum for help. thank you.. definitely i will be back...
