Encrypting a password for shell script

All,

I want to encrypt a database system administration password into a file or environment variable. Then, I want to decrypt the password from the file or environment variable so nobody sees the clear text password.

For example, I have the database password of developement.
I need to execute the following line to access the database:

isql -Usysadmin -Pdevelopment

I want users not to see the development password in clear text.

Thanks!
