Greetings to all Gurus!
I have a batch file when runs calls an sql file and generates sql reports into user's local directory. Instead of hardcoding username/password@db_string in the batch script, how to ask for username and password each time when the batchfile is run? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.
MG

--my batch file
sqlplus username/password@db_string @//apps/oraapps/myfile.sql

Use something like:

Accept username char prompt "username? "
Accept pws char prompt "password? " hide
Accept srv char prompt "service name? "
connect &username/&psw@&srv
...

Then

sqlplus /nolog @/apps/oraapps/myfile.sql

Regards
Michel
