I did, and that was actually causing one of our problems, in that a user account could not connect as the password it was passing on was uppercase. However the case sensitive is for logons only, I still have the issue of one user acct connecting ok, but not able to update some tables, it turns out it is not seeing some sequences to populate a table, granting select on the sequences in question directly fixed this, but I'm still curious why this is, as these priv's are in a role that the user has assigned, the role is default, and it worked fine in 9i..
