Introduction
The main goal of this document is serving as a base for SAP Basis Administrator who work with Oracle
Databases and want to perform simple checks.
I will try to improve this document as much as I can.
Of course, do not hesitate to collaborate by adding more SQL queries.

Delete SAP* user (or another user)

First we check if user exists. Then delete it.
SQL> SELECT MANDT, BNAME FROM <DB_SCHEMA>.USR02 WHERE MANDT = 'XXX' AND BNAME = 'SAP*';
SQL> DELETE FROM <DB_SCHEMA>.USR02 WHERE MANDT = 'XXX' AND BNAME = 'SAP*';
(change <DB_SCHEMA> and MANDT)

Password complexity
Execute script sap_utlpwdmg.sql from SAP Note 1522952 in SQL Plus:
SQL> @sap_utlpwdmg.sql

Activate complexity in profiles:

SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION
verify_function_sap;
SQL> ALTER PROFILE SAPUPROF LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION
verify_function_sap;
Deativate complexity in profiles:
SQL> ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL;
SQL> ALTER PROFILE SAPUPROF LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL;
