This is a really full-featured user creation script. It generates a CREATE USER script for all non-system database users, including:

Common "special" database users, ie. system users plus default users that will already be present in many pre-created databases, are excluded. eg, SYS, SYSTEM, DBSNMP (Jobs/SNMP account), OUTLN, CTXSYS (Oracle Text schema), HR/OE/PM/SH (demo schemas), etc. If you don't want to exclude all of these, comment out the "where" clause.

Note: Proofread any scripts before using. Always try scripts on a test instance first. I'm not responsible for any damage, even if you somehow manage to make my scripts corrupt every last byte of your data, set your server on fire and serve you personally with an eviction notice from your landlord!
