Regarding security, we accomplished a level of safety on a Unix box by having the script substitute published parameters:

   SQLPLUS $user/$pass ...etc...
The user and password were in one sub-script which was tighly controlled. It would set environment variables for the life of the main script...so no one could see them unless they had access to the one tightly controlled script.
