Re: Valid Oracle Passwords

Hi Jay

Exactly, you can use the same symbols as other database objects but if you use double quotes any character can be used even control characters. The point i was making was that even between the double quotes letters a-z are not case sensitive. I proved this with an example for Jared recently on this list in a thread called "passwords case sensitive".

kind regards

Pete
