If you read the file you downloaded you'll see that there is a procedure that loads an array (procedure init_dicts) and you can add lines there. Also, init_hashes loads the hashes database. You could certainly modify the procedure to load the array from a table with something like: Procedure init_dicts is J number; Begin J:=1; For i in (select * from table) loop Dicts(J):=i.word; J:=J+1; End loop; End; Guillermo Alan Bort EDS - ITO DBA Main Group -----Original Message----- From: Mercadante, Thomas F (LABOR) [mailto:Thomas.Mercadante@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 9:15 AM To: John.Hallas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Bort, Guillermo Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Pete Finnigan's Oracle database password checker I ran it in two of my development environments. My question is how do I extend the dictionary that Pete included in the routine. His Web page states that it can be extended. Anybody have any ideas about how to get a dictionary loaded into an Oracle database? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
