We are using sqlplus in shell scripts. In order to connect to a database, we have to pass connect string but password becomes visibale if you run ps command. Is there any way to hide password from ps command?

Here is a couple of lines from our script.

CONNECT=dbid/password
sqlplus $CONNECT

Thanks, Alex
