Alter Authorization: Can it be used wiht the Connect statement other than when using Pro C or Pro CO

edited May 17, 2018 5:20PM in SQL Language (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered ✓

We have a PowerBuilder application that connects to an Oracle 12c database.  We have been asked to implement a more stringent password policy, including the expiration of passwords.  We would like to be able to change an expired password from our application code, but the best alternative to accomplish this that we have identified is to use the Oracle Connect Alter Authorization functionality.  The only documentation we have found regarding the Alter Authorization clause indicates that it is available in the Pro C and Pro COBOL precompilers.

The question I have is simply to confirm whether or not Alter Authorization is limited to the precompilers, or can it be used natively in other programming languages?  Of course if the answer is it can be used in other languages, I would also like to know if there is documentation regarding that, or how can we use it.

Howdy, Stranger!
