One thing that I’ve seen where this can be very useful is setting passwords for accounts used solely by applications. If you set the password to some unprintable characters (say the new line character), then it is much harder for people to type that into sqlplus to gain access to the system but your application can still use that password…

Just a thought.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere... Pete Finnigan's Oracle Weblog has some fantastic information on Oracle password security and many other Oracle topics. He's one of the folks out there with his finger on the pulse! When you get tired of my attention deficit ramblings, check him out at petefinnigan.com
