How do I create a connection with a special character (!) in the password ?

Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris
SQL*Developer 3.1.0.6 on Windows 7
Due to security requirements our passwords contain an exclamation mark (!) but I can't get SQL*Developer to recognize it.
I've tried to put it in quotes, escaping it and even swearing at it but to no avail.
I get the famous ORA-1017-Invalid username/password
It seems to be no trouble for TOAD!!
Many thanks!

The solution has been found!!
I finally saw a error in the message tab at the bottom of the screen: error 108 o.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
According to Oracle Support Note:469494.1 I had a conflict with having two (2) versions of SQL*Developer on my laptop.
The first was downloaded and installed as a standalone product. This was followed up by installing the 11g Client which also contains a version of SQL*Developer, albeit a much older version. This caused a JDBC library conflict of some kind.
As per the note, since I only had one (1) Oracle Home, I renamed the %ORACLE_HOME%/jdbc/lib directory to lib$.
That seems to force the use of the newer jdbc library files and all seems to be good.
Turned out not to be anything related to the special characters in the password even though the popup message indicated that was the issue.
Thanks for all the help!!

  • How can I create a card with only a picture on the front - inside blank

    How can I create a card that only has a picture on the front and the inside is blank?

    Use the Holiday Colors theme for a folded card.  For the outside select the layout that just includes a full page photo. For the inside select the layout that suits your eye..
    As far as the text boxes are concerned just put a single space in them and then order.

  • How can I create a document with two columns in which the text in the left hand column flows to the left column on page 2,3 etc, and doesn't interfere with the text I want to place in the right? Pages 5.

    I'm using pages 5 and want to comment in a right hand column, on a (latin) text which I wish to place in a left hand column.
    Ideally I'd like to be able to copy and paste the latin text and see it flow over into the left hand column on multiple pages.
    At the moment it is impossible for me to keep the text only in the left hand column Any help!?
    B

    Columns do what columns do, flow from the bottom of the left hand column to the top of the right hand next column. So won't do what you want.
    Your tag says you are using OS X 10.5.8 but you say you are using Pages 5 so one or the other is not correct.
    If you migrated up to Pages 5 what did you do with your previous Pages '08 or '09?
    Because Pages 5 is missing over 100 features, one of which is Textbox linking, that would allow to flow down through a series of Textboxes set up like columns.
    What you can do is run the Latin text down a narrow document to the left and add individual Textboxes to the right and put your English translations in those. The Latin will flow but the English will not.

  • How do I create a newsletter with facing pages that have the margins adjusted for stapling the pages on the left side? ...Like a book.I hate the new pages.

    Can anyone recommend a program for newsletters that makes sense.  I used AppleWorks and the old page without any problem. Facing pages, two columns, text boxes, photos, mastheads.   The new pages *****! I can't adjust spacing between lines as needed, I can't adjust the margins for facing pages. Inspector is not what it used to be.  If I use Pages '09 v. 4.3 (1048), I am not allowed to make corrections. My choice is cancel, update, or correct a copy which is no longer '09.
    iMac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

    How are you "not allowed to make corrections"?

  • How can I read a file with ASCII Special Character into a SQL table using SSIS 2008?

    I've tried everything to read this file and am getting no where.   Help how can I read this file and load a SQL table?
    RS - AscII - 30  (Record Separator)
    GS - AscII - 29 (Group Separator)
    Thank you for your assistance - Covi

    We can use script component as source/transformation to read the text file and assign the contains to a string. Split the string by chr(30)  i.e RS and finally stored into an array or write to the output buffer of the script component.
    For example on how to use script component refer this link

    Hi Libby,
    Select all three columns of data. All three must be 'regular' columns, not Header columns, and the X values must be in the leftmost column.
    Click the Charts button and choose the Scatter chart.
    The resulting chart will initially show only the first and second columns of data, and the selection will have been reduced to show this.
    Click the gear icon at the top left of the selection and choose Share X Values.
    You should see a result similar to this:
    Notes:
    The values on my sample table contain a random element, so they have changed from thhe first image to the second.
    The chart is as created by Numbers, with two edits:
    Data points have been connected with curves, using the Chart nspector.
    The curves were selected and their stroke increased to 2pts, using the stroke formating button in the format bar.

  • How can i improve database connectivity with connection pool

    Hi,
    I used to create a connection to DB per session since the application is pretty small. Now i want to improve the db connectrion with connection pool. However, i am still confused since the book i read says that i have to change something in server.xml in the tomcat server while other people in this forum actually implement a connection pool class. Isnt it has been built into the servlet container? if yes, how can i use it? I suppose i only have to open the connection and the connection pool will reclaim the resource when the session is terminated in the same way the gabage collector reclaim resource when no reference is associated to object, am i correct?
    Thai

    the documentation for Tomcat 5 DB pooling can be found at:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html
    Here are the Tomcat 4 docs:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html
    The administration console can be found at (under default install):
    http:localhost:8080/admin
    But, you have to set up a user and password in your
    <tomcat-install>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.
    You need to add an "admin" role and a user that will be assigned this
    role like this (obviously you won't be using "tomcat" as your password):
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <tomcat-users>
    <role rolename="admin"/>
    <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin"/>
    </tomcat-users>
    So, I can log in as Tomcat and have admin privs.

  • How do I create a track with just controller MIDI data in it?

    How can I create a track with just MIDI controller data in it? 
    For example: I'd like to create a track that issues a bank change/patch change and sets the default volume for that track, and that's it.
    I can then use this setup as a template for future projects.
    How can I do this?
    It seems like LPX will not allow me to enter any controller data into a track without first defining a region. However, it seems that LPX also won't allow me to create a region with just controller data in it. 
    Ideas?
    Thanks

    Let me qualify, I'm using Logic 9, not upgrading for various reasons.
    Is this for an external Instrument? If so it's very easy to do using the inspector, but first you have to create an instrument in the environment. (at least in L9 and the way I do it, which is old school)  Here's an example of an external instrument setup in the Environment.
    A multi Instrument is created, channels 1, 2, 3, & 9 are active. Patch names are entered, format for bank change is selected. (just happens I selected channel 14 to open the patch names).  This Instrument will now appear in the arrange page, and you can set patch change, bank change, volume & pan.

  • How do I create a connection string to sql server?

    Hi All,
       I am currently connecting to a SQL Server via ODBC DSN connection. I am wondering how do I create a connection string directly to a sql server without a DSN connection?
    Thank you in advance.

    If you have SQL Server or client installed in your machine you can directly connect to SQL server using native connection. When you create new report you can see the option create new connection, here you can see SQL Server. Expand it and enter the connection details where you will be directly connected to SQL Server without ODBC connection.

  • How can I create a solution with Livecycle

    I work for a high school and we have about 12 pdfs that we need parents to read/scroll through, then 10 (different) pages that we want them to print, complete and return to the school.  Finally, we want them to see a "Thank you, you have done all you have to do" type screen.  We want to make it as user friendly as possible so I was thinking...
    Reading pages, 1 at a time with next at bottom.
    Click next and it takes them on.  When they get to printing pages 1 print button prints all pages we need them to print. Click next, and it takes them to optional print pages.
    Click next and it says, thank you.
    How can I make this happen if I already have all the pdfs?
    Help please.

    Subject: How can I create a solution with Livecycle
    I assume that all of these PDFs were created in Designer. If so you can add any buttons that you want to appear on every page (Next, Previous) onto the Master page then there is script you can add to the buttons to actual move the pages (xfa.host.pageDown() and xfa.host.pageUp()). The Prin button can be added to the specific page and you can pass the page numbers that you want to print as a parameter to the print command. Lastly when you get to the last page and the click Complete you can display a messageBox with your Thank you message.
    Hope that helps

  • How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

    How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad?  I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
    Thanks

    Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
    Apps:
    iMovie
    CinemaFXV
    VideoFix
    Cartoonatic
    Video illusion
    VidEditor
    Software:
    Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
    After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
    Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
    VideoPad (Again. Few choices)
