I would like to see if you set ora_session_mode to SYSDBA and don't supply a username or password that it defaults to SYS and some non-null password. That's my opinion.
So do you all think that setting ora_session_mode to ORA_SYSDBA should force the password to be non-null?
Tim.
That isn't necessary. If you set ora_session_mode to ORA_SYSDBA and provide (undef, undef) as the (username, password) it works fine. If however you provide a username you have to provide a password as well - the values are irrelevant, it is just that you need to specify a password if you specify a username.
