This topic has been discussed many many times on this forum and elsewhere. A simple search of this forum or the Internet will show you many ways to accomplish what you want to do. For example I entered "oracle hide password" in the forum search box and got overy 10 pages of replies.

For Oracle, one way is to store the program in a file and get Oracle to execute it.
Code:
sqlplus /NOLOG @programname.sql Within the file programname.sql the first line will be an Oracle "CONNECT" statement, for example: connect SYS/change_on_install as SYSDBA ; This method is really the normal way and by having the program in a file avoids the clash with shell from characters such as "$" . Don't forget to protect the file from prying eyes with unix permissions. Last edited by methyl; 09-15-2009 at 01:46 PM.. Reason: ; |
