hi
i am using the below procedure to alter user password.In my application while inserting and modify it is working for main schema(abcd). in that schema i created nearly 30 users.entering thruogh one of the user and try to insert or modify from application.its not saving and its not showing any error.any option to give required grants to users or independent of grants procedure execution.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Alter_It (
kind IN VARCHAR2,
NAME IN VARCHAR2,
pw IN VARCHAR2
)
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
AS
v_sql VARCHAR2 (100);
BEGIN
v_sql := 'ALTER ' || kind || ' ' || NAME || ' ' || 'IDENTIFIED BY ' || pw;

just out of curiosity why do you want to use DYNAMIC SQL for this purpose?you won't be creating a user or changing their password regularly.it's a one time activity.

I wouldn't agree with that; we DO change passwords regularly and I believe it should be done that way.

ok.but ,then i couldn't understand the reason for the use of var 'KIND'.

Quote:

v_sql := 'ALTER ' || kind || ' ' || NAME || ' ' || 'IDENTIFIED BY ' || pw;

v_sql :='ALTER USER '||p_name||' IDENTIFIED BY '||p_pwd;

but in my application will works on the users. i.e i created 30 users in my database .every one access my application by using their user name and password .so while creating user name default password i given as their user name.so they want to change their password themselves,
so for that requirement i design one screen in forms6i. and calling that procedure in form level.
