Hi,

you can use config file to store the DB details and don't provide even read permission to that config file to anyone else except you.
you can read the config file from shell script to get your required DB details.

There are ample of tools available in unix to encrypt your clear test password and decrypt it while you use again .refer the following .

Code:
echo off
read pass
echo on
encr=`echo $pass | base64`
decr=`echo $encr | base64 --decode`

then use

Code:
sqlplus uname/$decr @ggg.world <<kkk

Login within the SQL program not from the command line.
Code:
connect ....
