This is achieved by using the sys.dba_users table, which means these queries must be done using an account with proper privileges. Beyond creation of users, the second SQL statement in the example below also generates account-locking commands for those users that are currently marked as locked. Finally, note the output file has the extension .sql, which suggests that it can be run directly from SQL*Plus as part of an automated script, if necessary.<\/p>\n
