Connecting AS SYSDBA effectively creates a connection as SYS.

List,

I have created a separate user, call it USER granted:

sql>grant connect, resource, dba to USER;

then

sql>grant sysdba to USER;

I can query v$pwfile_users  and see USER in there as sysdba.

So why is it whenyou connect as sysdba:

connect USER/pwd as sysdba

that when I type

sql>show user

it returns

user is "SYS"

?

thanks.

Can't you configure an account to act as sysdba , without using the "SYS' 
account?

thanks.
