Hi...

I'm starting sqlplus from a unix shell in a shell script with the command

sqlplus user/password<<EOF
...

sql-statements
...

exit;
EOF The database is running on the unix server. When I start the command

ps -ef |grep user

then the complete command sqlplus user/password is displayed. So can anybody find out the username and password. Is there a possibility to hidden user and password? Is there another way to start sqlplus in a shell script, so that nobody can seen the user and password with the ps command.

Regards...
