Sir,

In our database there is a user seen with name ***. It have same privilages as the user SYS have. The objects of ***are the same as the SYS user. Even the user_id for both users are same.

The SYS user is having user_id= 0 and the user *** has the user_id= 0.

In other words user *** is the clone of SYS user.

When i am trying to operate on this user. Its giving the error
For Example:

alter user *** identified by it;

ERROR at line 1
ORA-00604 error occoured at recursive SQL level1
ORA-00001 unique constraint (SYS.I_USER1) violated



Please HELPPPPPP

Thanks

When you say 'Cloned', does it have the same Created Date in Dba_Users?

You should be able to operate on this user by wrapping the username in ""
ie
alter user "***" identified by it;


I'd say that either you'e got a major security problem, or a very odd bug.

Yes JRowbottom the syntax you gave, i tried that before the same error is returned.

Post the result of:
select * from v$version;


Check in alert.log and/or init.ora/spfile if there is any event set.

Nothing leaps to mind from the information posted.

Unless it's something odd that came with your version of Oracle, I'd raise an SR with Oracle and ask them about it.

Even We are struck here. We could not find any thing in alertlog file. We cannot even do any thing to the ghost user ***.

Could the dropping of the user is possible?
Will the dropping effects the data?

Thanks everybody

Have you installed any 3rd party software in the database?

There is a FrontEnd software which is from ESRI, ArcGIS. It contacts with Oracle to store the data. Mainly it stores images and tables even.

Given that you're getting errors trying to alter this user, I'd talk to Oracle at this point.

I would be very, very wary of trying to drop the user.

I didn't ask for error in alert.log but for "event" parameters.
