No custom application should be able to connect as SYS (unless very few specific cases and your is surely not one).
And SYS should have a password far more complex than this one.

And now that he has exposed that bit of information, I wonder if it would be possible to read back through his other posts and glean the information necessary to actually log in to his system as sysdba?

A frightening example I personally witnessed:

@Thinking I have provided the genuine credentials just to let you assist is an insult .But I take it because I believe Even Larry faced your forefathers when he was envisioning relational database.Today the offspring of forefathers are good in ORACLE!!!

You should learn to read what we write.
We warned you on an important point about security which has nothing with Oracle but behaviour in your life, for your sake (do you also give your credit card number to everyone?).

Talking about behaviour, we can all see that you steadily refuse to follow the OraFAQ Forum Guide. Don't you think this is an insult towards all those who read and took time for you?

I don't want to speak for Michel or Ed are intentionally trying to be insulting. I think they are simply trying to point out that the SYS and SYSDBA user account shouldn't be used except by a Database Administrator (DBA). Of your own admission, you have stated that you "didn't go to a college to study oracle" so you are probably not familiar with standard development and security practices associated with databases (not just Oracle). One of the first things you will be taught about Oracle is that you never use the SYS or SYSDBA account for anything! These are high privilege accounts that can change any facet of your database and access to these accounts should be extremely limited. You should always create a new user/schema for application development. There are a lot of "Self Taught" developers in the world and I would like to think that most of them have taken the time to learn the "Best Practices" for the language and development environment they are writing software for.

Is there some action you are trying to perform by opening a SQL Plus session from an Oracle Form as the SYS or SYSDBA user? Why do you need to use either of these accounts? Could you please explain "What" you are trying to accomplish so we can offer to a safer alternative than using a SYS or SYSDBA user account?

How is this a Forms question?
How is this related to the original question?

This is NOT an Oracle error message and help us in no way to determine the origin of the problem.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide

Don't use Oracle Forms to do database maintenance...that is not what this tool is for. Your DBA should be doing your backups and all other database maintenance and they(He/She) should be doing this out side of Oracle Forms.
