Hi,
I have to create a script which will ask for an password and validate it and if its correct ,then call some procedures ,otherwise display an error.
How can i prompt for an password using script ?
Is it possible that when the user enters the password ,it should be displayed in encypted form(asterisks) ?
Can you suggest some examples or references on this ?
I am using Oracle 9i.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishal

rem x.sql
rem
whenever sqlerror exit rollback;
set echo off
prompt "The value entered for the SYSTEM password will not display."
accept system_password char prompt "Enter the password for SYSTEM: " hide
connect system/&&system_password@test
select dbms_random.string('A',100) from dual;
exit
Here is an example of calling that script from the command line:
D:\temp1>sqlplus /nolog @x

"The value entered for the SYSTEM password will not display."
Enter the password for SYSTEM:
Connected.
DBMS_RANDOM.STRING('A',100)

This should work on any OS.
