Hi,

* If this is the wrong forum for this sorry. Please move to the appropriate forum.

I'm having issues trying to connect to my Oracle 10g DB via the jdbc driver. Here's my code:

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection;

public class StringSearcher {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
		
		DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
		OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:orcl", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
		conn.close();
	}
	
}

and here's the error trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER

        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:185)
        at StringSearcher.main(StringSearcher.java:11)

I'm using the ojdbc14.jar file for the Oracle classes. As you can see it's very simplistic but I still can't get it to connect.

* Note: The username I am using to connect with is not SYS so I'm not sure where that error is coming from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Google has got me nowhere Sad

Thanks,
Brendan

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

Quote:

* Note: The username I am using to connect with is not SYS

Maybe but as we have not your actual code and what you actually did the only thing we can do is to trust Oracle.

Regards
Michel

Okay. Here's the code in unmodified format:

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection;

public class StringSearcher {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
		
		DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
		OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:tomsserver:1521:orcl", "TOM", "TOMSPASSWD");
		conn.close();
	}
	
}

Any ideas?
