All,

I just tested changing my password and looking in the v$sql... views to find my new pw.

As I figured, the statement stops at ident. How does this work? Does Oracle automatically not

keep parsed pw-changing SQL in memory, giving
up parse time for security? Obviously, you'd
never rerun that SQL statement anyway, so it's

not even giving up anything.

I just want to confirm that Oracle is indeed doing this on purpose.

Thanks,

Yosi
