why it shows username as "SYS" when a user is connected as sysdba. Can any friend suggest how to view exact username we connect as sysdba. eg:
sql>connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
sql>show user
sql>user is "SYS"
---------------
sql>connect market/pwds as sysdba
sql>show user
sql>user is "sys"

here im confused in which user i have connected with...ofcourse both are sys but how to know where i am...suggest plz

You cannot.
When you connnect as sysdba, you are logged as SYS user.
In an analogy ( and a not so correct one), consider SYSDBA to be equivalent of SUDO in UNIX. You can either login as root user or login as yourself and SUDO to root.
