https://github.com/django/django/commit/acfc650f2a6e4a79e80237eabfa923ea3a05d709 #diff-54b46d05e1da568b3cc987c423e00c50R197 has the PR and line that introduced this issue. Expectation: `./manage.py dbshell` opens an interactive shell when an Oracle database is configured. Actual behavior: `./manage.py dbshell` fails to login yielding error `ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied`. Additionally it will print the arguments passed to the sqlplus binary to standard error and reveal the password has unexpected backslash characters in it. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30307> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
