"A thousand ways to sink a cat" I used to hear old timers say ...

I use heaps of configuration files (I prefer to call them "environment" files) for scripts that I create and maintain. They vary from System, Oracle, Tuxedo and script specific requirements, across numerous Oracle instances. Why; purely for ease of use and creating generic scripts that are extremely portable between instances.

An example:
Code:
##-
##- Environment Variables for:   [Oracle-SID]
##-

##- GMT OFFSET SETTING -##

  US_GMT_OFFSET='-5'

##----------------------##

##- Generic HouseKeeping Environment Variables -##
EMAIL_SUPPORT="support1@support.com,support2@support.com"
HOUSEKEEPING_EML_ADD='housekeeping@domain-name.com'
SMS_ALERT="sms@support.com"

##- A-Customer Specific Environment Variables -##
XXX_IP_DNS="IP-or-DNS-Entry"
XXX_USR1="A-UID-1"
XXX_USR2="A-UID-2"

##- Security Specific Environment Variables -##
SECFILE=/opt/Security/header.txt
DELIMIT=80

##- Variables used in Script: FTPOUT-CFS.sh        -##
##- All references must stay as script is shared.  -##
FR_EMAIL_SUPPORT="emea-fr-support@domain-name.com"
UK_EMAIL_SUPPORT="emea-uk-support@domain-name.com"
US_EMAIL_SUPPORT="amer-us-support@domain-name.com"
ZZ_EMAIL_SUPPORT="amer-zz-support@domain-name.com"

The example is a cut down sample, but they can be as large or as small as required.

TIP: I'm in the practise of ensuring that UID's and PWD's are kept in separate environment/configuration files if not using SSH/SFTP. I suspect others would do the same too. The above only contains UID's, the PWD's are contained in another environment/configuration file.

Hope that helps some. Smilie

Cheers,
Cameron

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)	User Contributed Perl Documentation	  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)

NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins - Oracle joins in WHERE syntax support (instead of ANSI). PURPOSE
This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax. SYNOPSIS
DBIx::Class should automagically detect Oracle and use this module with no work from you. DESCRIPTION
This class implements Oracle's WhereJoin support. Instead of: SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id It will write: SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id It should properly support left joins, and right joins. Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table definition part of the SQL query, it's already too late. METHODS
See DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins for implementation details. BUGS
Does not support full outer joins. Probably lots more. SEE ALSO
