A WAY TO HIDE USERNAME/PASSWORD FROM PS

  • hardcode the password in a file (with the proper permissions)
  • sqlplus username _at_file.sql < password.file

The password will not appear (you can put the username in there too if you want). If you don't like hardcoding passwords, this is not for you Received on Wed Dec 20 1995 - 00:00:00 CET
