Something like this is all you need

Code:
USER_PASSWORD=user/password
sqlplus -s << EOF >> $SQL_LOG
   $USER_PASSWORD
EOF

Code:
# sqlconn() {  sqlplus $1/$2@TESTDB; }

you can add to this fun to your profile for later use
and then
Code:
# sqlconn dba Passw0rd?

but i dont recommend this way because of password is clear and accessable if you didnt erase the history.

regards
ygemici
