Important

Start the database: 
oracle$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> startup
Shut down the database: 
oracle$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown
The slash connects you to the schema owned by SYS. In the above example you will be connected to the schema owned by SYS with the privilege SYSDBA. SYSDBA gives you the following privileges:
