Connect with quoted username

[jfudickar]

Hi,

why is it needed to quote a username like "jens.fudickar" in the logon dialog?

I thought it was possible to connect without the quotes in older releases.

Hello,

This is the correct behaviour: case-sensitive usernames and usernames containing special characters must be double-quoted. Such behaviour is implemented in other applications working with Oracle, including standard SQLPlus and Oracle SQL Developer.

.but it should be possible to add the quotes automaticly when something like a a dot is included.ä
This would be user friendly.

Hello,

Since Oracle supports case-sensitive usernames, we cannot quote usernames automatically, as, the case, in which a username was entered, will be used. Moreover, this will be components behaviour change, that can lead to errors in working applications.
