Hi !

I have lots of batch files (windows) which call SQL scripts that have the
userid/password hard coded into the script

e.g. sqlplus -s userid/password

The passwords have to be in the scripts because these scripts are timed to run
at various times of the day/night.

Consequently, if the permissions on a script was left open and a user got to
view the script then...who knows!

I am mulling some different ideas around as to how best to secure these scripts
but would welcome some ideas.

Thanks!
