When you have a password that contains and equals sign you cannot enter your username/password in a single command. Here's an example

username: steve
password: st=eve

Entered at the command line you get thsi:

C:>IMP steve/st=eve
LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'steve/st'

it thinks that 'steve/st' is a keyword because of the = sign. You can however enter this

C:>IMP steve
then enter st=eve when propmpted for a password. Is this a known Oracle bug?

Thanks,
Steve

someone smarter than me figured it out . . . use an escape character like so:

C:>IMP steve/st=eve
