Re: Does anyone have a program to change passwords?

Hi Keith,

    Write a sqlplus script that accepts the users new password as a parameter. It would look something like:

    alter user &1 identified by &2;
    exit

In effect you would be allowing the user to execute a sqlplus query without granting general access to sqlplus.
