RE: Migrate users from 10-11

dba_users has some spots. The identified by values clause now causes an ora-00600. (Turns out this trick has never been supported by oracle).

It works from 11g also:

select 'alter user &&v_user identified by values '||''''||b.password||''''||';' from dba_users a, sys.user$ b
where a.user_id = b.user# and a.username = upper('&&v_user');

DESC DBA_USERS
 Name

 EXTERNAL_NAME                                  
    PASSWORD_VERSIONS                              
    EDITIONS_ENABLED                               
 AUTHENTICATION_TYPE

Niall,

It is true that the hash changed in 11 (with case sensitive passwords now), but the old hashes are still accepted. I think there is even a flag that tells you if this the password is using the old or the new method.

Kind regards,

The password hash changes in 11! Why didn't you just allow datapump to create the users (or whisper it not in Gath) just perform a database upgrade?
