How to connect with sys oracle data base user

[Anonymous · Accepted solution]

Hi @hdes3658 ,

The ORA-28009 error occurs when you are connecting as the SYS user, without using the SYSDBA or SYSOPER  clause:

SQL> connect sys/myopass as sysdba;

SQL> connect sys/mypass as sysoper;

The docs note this on the ORA-28009 error:

ORA-28009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER
Cause: connect SYS/<password> is no longer a valid syntax
Action: Try connect SYS/<password> as SYSDBA or connect SYS/<password> as SYSOPER

Please check these links as follows.

ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper | Ora Code (ora-code.info)

Hope that's what you were looking for.
