Do I use apostrophes or double quotes > correctly? You may use digits and special characters. But be carefully on special characters. Some shells evaluate the special characters before the application (e.g. the $, %, ") and you have to quote them to send them as they are to the application itself. This is a little bit difficult to type at the command line and there are differences between the shells. > The password of a database user can be input in double > quotes, with it I can use more then just letters and extended letters > while creating a password. This is not specified explicitly. May this > lead to trouble? The double qoutes at a database users password make the password case sensitive. But (e.g.) the DBMServer command can not work with this passwords. So for the Database Administrator please do not use double quotes. Passwords of database manager operators are always case insensitiv and the double quotes may become part of the password.
