Quick Tip - log on to sqlplus as sysdba in Windows

Most of the sites I work with (99% of them) are Unix (mainly Solaris, some AIX, HP-UX, Red Hat Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux), but there are a couple that are running Oracle on Windows (ugh!).

I always forget how to log on to sqlplus as sysdba, so this is a reminder for me:

c:\> sqlplus / nolog

sql> connect sys/password@SID as sysdba
