But then still you need somewhere to store passwords and sid to use when connecting.

(ahum....assumption is the mother of all.......
(but I assumed a central system" of which the script is run. It then has to connect to various databases.

Login needs to be chosen based on parameter passed so if the parameter passed is 1 it needs to choose user1 and so on.
