Not sure it would be the best but... logically I would:

get sysdate
get expiration date
if expiration date - sysdate <= 7 (let's say you wanted to warn them 7 days in advance) send them e-mail. I have not done e-mail from Oracle but there are plenty examples everywhere.

Or, I think you could create a screen in your app. and display that screen for them any time they get close to expiration date. You can even let them change their password through that screen, too.

Greetings,

As I understand that from Oracle 8 onward we have the feature of password management like account locking, password aging and expiration, password history and password complexity requirements.

My understanding is that if the password is expired for an user then that user will be notified during his first attempt to login to the oracle database. Instead of waiting for the user to login and then know about his password expiration, we
are trying to find out a way by which the oracle can automatically send an email to the respective user as it is close to the password expiration or as the password has just expired.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Ashoke
