Hi Justin,

I want have a loop to ask user for correct password before proceed with = login.

I remember the Oracle GUI they have something like "test connection" the result either successful of not successful.

You would need to actually try to create a connection to the database with that user name & password. Why would you want to check the validity of a password other than when you are logging in?=3D20

Hi all,
=3D20

How I test given password? (test connect)
=3D20

example
the logic is something like this
=3D20

username=3D3Dsystem;
password=3D3Dmanager;
=3D20

if ORACLE_TEST_CONNECT(username, password) < 0 then

    echo Wrong id or(and) password
else

    exp username/password
endif;
=3D20
=3D20

How to test the given username or password?
=3D20
=3D20
=3D20

thanks so much
=3D20
