I have a DBA account that has operating system authentication. I originally set it to have a profile other than default, but have since set it back to the default profile, when I log in I get this and I shouldn't get anything: ERROR: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 4290546226 days I can still log in though. any idea? Odd thing is that when I try to enable autotrace from this account I get: SQL> set autotrace on ERROR: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 4290546226 days SP2-0619: Error while connecting SP2-0611: Error enabling STATISTICS report I get the explain plan but no stats. I have everything installed properly. Before messing with profiles, I didn't have any problems. I created a new user and was able to get autotrace to work. The odd thing is that the second time I type set autotrace on I get: SQL> set autotrace on ERROR: ORA-24315: illegal attribute type SP2-0619: Error while connecting SP2-0611: Error enabling STATISTICS report I know the correct plustrace and correct plan table are installed, because it worked before I messed around with profiles and I can set it up with a brand new user. any ideas? Might be some form of bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
