Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Hiding passwords
Apparently my Windoze Command scripting skills are woefully inadequate.
The past several years have been ksh heavy and windoze shell poor, not that I regret this in any way. :)
Thanks Wolfgang, I'll have to play with this.

Subject: RE: Hiding passwords
How about:
setlocal & pushd
@echo off
call oraenv stats
@for /f %%I in ('pwc.pl') do (
set MY_PASSWORD=%%I
)
@sqlplus scott/%MY_PASSWORD% @test.sql
popd & endlocal
I don't have the password server configured, so my pwc.pl simply is hardcoded to return tiger:
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w
print "tiger";
and test.sql is just "select user from dual;"
C:\tmp>test
C:\tmp>setlocal & pushd
Environment variable oracle_home not defined

granted, it is not quite as elegant as "MY_PASSWORD=$(pwc.pl ..." but it gets the job done.
And it does not work in Windows (95/98) Dos, but in NT and W2K, which you need to run Oracle server anyways.
