Mike,

Good point, I obviously was out to lunch on that one.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to search out and disseminate the knowledge regarding this old password.

Should you choose not to accept this mission, I will disavow all knowledge of this email and claim it was spoofed by persons unknown.

This message will not self destruct in 5 seconds, but will probably hang around in various archives for centuries, consuming valuable resources.

Now where'd that coffee go to...

Jared,

I may be out to lunch (and I haven't create too many users lately) but I though later versions of Oracle could be set to prevent repeating a password
over time (and/or length, randomness restrictions). If this is the case, wouldn't the old password have to be kept somewhere?

It can be seen in dba_users. The table is sys.user$.

Once you've changed it, the old value is gone for good.

Jared
