Question : Network user gets married and wants their name changed for their login and email

We have a user on the network that recently got married. She would like to have the name change recognized in her login and her email address. What is the best way to do this? Do we create a new account with her new name and set up a new profile on her pc. Then just forward any remaining emails coming in to the old account to her new until we are ready to wipe the old account out.  Or can you just change the name on her existing profile and change her email address to reflect the new name?

Answer : Network user gets married and wants their name changed for their login and email

Yes, you can connect with SQL Developer.

First, you make sure that tnsnames.ora which was setup when you installed oracle, is configured to point to the instance of your oracle database.

It looks something like this:

# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\9i\OEM\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ACS.Mydoamin.us =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db1)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = ACSProduction or whatever)
    )
  )

Then on SQL Developer, you see connections to the top left corner of SQL Developer once it is launced.

Right-click on connections.

on Connection Name: give it any name.

Username: Scott or your username
Password: Tiger or your password

Choose TNS as your connection Type

Select the Network Alias radio button and give it the name you find in your tnsnames.ora and baring any mistakes, it should connect you.

You can also use SQL Plus to do so.

Hope this helps.
