Oracle 8.1.7.4 (cpuJanuary2006) AIX 5.2 While trying to determine what command a third party application is using to change users' passwords I discovered that the ALTER USER <name> IDENTIFIED BY statement is getting truncated when written to a trace file. For example ===================== PARSING IN CURSOR #3 len=38 dep=0 uid=31 oct=43 lid=31 tim=0 hv=2271055062 ad='3 25aafc0' alter user test identifie END OF STMT PARSE #3:c=0,e=0,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=1,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=0 XCTEND rlbk=0, rd_only=1 ===================== Is this a bug or a feature?
