Grant succeeded.
See the difference - since the user was created with an upper case
password, it did not allow lower case password while connecting to
"GJILVSKI". Had it been 10g, you would easily get connected. So now,
"GJILVSKI", "gjilevski" and "GJilevski" are different passwords.
System altered.
USERNAME PASSWORD

SCOTT 10G 11G
GJILVSKI 10G 11G
One can also enforce case-sensitive passwords for SYSDBA users. Use
"ignorecase" argument while creating password files using "ORAPWD" utility.
Default values for "ignorecase" is "n", and you can set it to "y" to enable
case-sensitive passwords.
So if you plan to upgrade to 11g then make sure you change passwords to
adhere to case-sensitivity and ensure that you change your scripts which
have inconsistent password cases too.
