RE: Using a '.' in a username

Joe,

        I believe you've hit that nail squarely on the head. But then there are piles of dummies out there who like doing the dumb thing.

Please unless you've been at oracle doing oracle stuff since 1990 back in version 5 days, you can spare me the condescending attitude and the company line, the bottom line is oracle is just like C, it will let you shoot off your own foot(and thats the way most of us like it). its not dumbproof from any means or platform, its just gotten gui-fied in alot of cases and people who can right-click in OEM to resize a datafile and think that makes them a dba have a bit to learn.

The bottom line still boils down to this, just because you can, doesn't make it a smart thing to do.
