Check When MY Oracle Password Expires

Question

I have a non-admin login to an Oracle database, and I'd like to check when my password expires. I've found a lot of information online about getting password expiration dates by querying on the DBA_USERS table -- but I do not have privileges to view that table.

I'm hopeful that Oracle includes a way for me to check password expiration for my own login, but so far I've been unable to find any queries except those that reference the DBA_USERS table.

Is there a way for me to determine when my own password expires without putting in a ticket to the DBA?

Answer 1

You can see the current user details using

select * from USER_USERS; 

That will have a column name "expiry_date" which has the data you ask for.

P.S. For almost every DBA_* there is an ALL_* (all the permitted records that the current user can see) and a USER_* (all the permitted records owned by the current user)

so DBA_TABLES has all the tables the systems has, ALL_TABLES has all the tables the current user has permissions to do something on (update, delete, insert, modify, etc), and USER_TABLES - all the tables the current user created.
