Problem Note 14952: "Oracle prepare error" when Oracle password due to expire or in password grace period

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
You you run a query against an Oracle instance where the password is due
to expire or is in the password grace period, the following error
message might appear:

   Error: ORACLE prepare error:

The character after the word 'Error:' varies.

In SQLPlus, if you connect to the same instance, the following error
message might appear:

   Error: ORA-28002: the password will expire within 1 days

The workaround is to have the Oracle DBA adjust the password so that
it is not due to expire.
