LOL :D :D :D

You never used awk? You dont know what you are missing boy....

I remember a trick of a Oracle teacher: he copied the encrypted password into the clipboard, changed the password and later on he updated the same field with the original password.

I think I got the solution now...

Thanks!

AWK? Never heard of it... (bit of an AWKward name... awk...)

Okay, I'll let google search for it. Probably I'll have to study again.... Thanks a LOT! :D

Furthermore: I tried something, but now I see that many users are only created so they can access the application. The users have no objects, but are granted select/insert/etc rights to access the application-schema. Great!

Now I think to use to create a script from selecting DBA_USERS to create all those users at the other db.

Question :

How do I transport the password?

The following statement fails:
SELECT 'CREATE USER '||user_name||' IDENTIFIED BY '||password||';'
FROM DBA_USERS;

Is there a trick to create a users password by using the encrypted password in DBA_USERs?

I'm feeling generous:

spool r1_create_users.sql

select 'create user '||username||
decode(password,'EXTERNAL',' identified externally',
' identified by values '||''''||password||'''')||
' default tablespace '||default_tablespace||
' temporary tablespace '||temporary_tablespace||';'
from sys.dba_users
where username NOT IN ('ADAMS', 'BLAKE', 'CLARK', 'JONES', 'SCOTT',
'ANONYMOUS','AURORA$JIS$UTILITY$','AURORA$ORB$UNAUTHENTICATED',
'CTXSYS', 'DBSNMP', 'LBACSYS', 'MDSYS', 'MTSSYS',
'ODM', 'ODM_MTR', 'OLAPSYS', 'ORDPLUGINS', 'ORDSYS',
'OSE$HTTP$ADMIN', 'OUTLN', 'OAS_PUBLIC',
'HR', 'OE', 'PM', 'QS', 'QS_ADM', 'QS_CB', 'QS_CBADM',
'QS_CS', 'QS_ES', 'QS_OS', 'QS_WS', 'SH',
'PERFSTAT', 'REPADMIN', 'RMAN',
'SYS', 'SYSTEM', 'TRACESVR', 'WEBSYS',
'WKPROXY', 'WKSYS', 'WMSYS', 'XDB')
order by username
/

spool off

The list of users you can edit as reuired, but its handy as it stops you getting the standard set of users etc.

just run the spool file against your new database and chocks away. Your users will still have their old passwords. You can use this script as a basis to do a similar thing with roles, and then grants.
