Re: Using a '.' in a username

Joe

I do not think that message with a simple example and two references to the documentation was a bad and the example of schema naming was an excerption only. I've explained what I think about it in my previous message:

"
I'm not quite sure about common sense here. DBA who creates such names for his/her trusting users would have some headache anyway. But do not mix sqlplus bugs that can be windows dependent and the question Mladen asked.
"

I think most of the messages here in the list have to be problem-related not opinion-related or person-related ones i.e. out of technical topic. That's why oracle-l is a technical mailing list, and it's not about who is who, who should use what oem or command line, windows not unix.
