Finally with Oracle Release 11g we get case sensitive passwords on user accounts. What sounds so simple and normal has taken decades to arrive in the functionality list of Oracles RDBMS. For those who never expected Oracle to jump that gap, there is a compatibility mode, which allows you to use password naming conventions compatible with previous versions ie. non-case-sensitive. As usual major changes don't have to be adopted immediately.
Note: Even if a major change is more of a major impact than anything else. ;-)
