Okay, so why is *that* a problem? After all,
last time I checked, Oracle database passwords
were case-insensitive anyway...
Special characters, on the other hand, *can* be a
problem. I seem to recall even SQL*Plus giving
me considerable grief with a password that
contained "/" characters... No wait; it was a
Pro*C application.
