Understanding SYSDBA

in Database Administration (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered
I'm new to Oracle DB and trying to understand SYSDBA. I see use of OS authentication in my org whereby admins logon with / @SYSDBA. What does this mean at the DB layer?

  1. Do actions completed show up in the audit log as the actual OS user?
  2. Have I logged in as a user named SYSDBA or as the OS user or as some other user?

Howdy, Stranger!
