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?=20

Hi all,
=20

How I test given password? (test connect)
=20

example
the logic is something like this
=20

username=3Dsystem;
password=3Dmanager;
=20

if ORACLE_TEST_CONNECT(username, password) < 0 then

    echo Wrong id or(and) password
else

    exp username/password
endif;
=20
=20

How to test the given username or password?
=20
