Simplest way is not to enter the password on the same line with the userid.
If you wait for SQLPlus to prompt you for the password, it doesn't show up
with ps -ef.

On the other hand, doing this in a script is more problematical.  Anyone
have any examples?

When running Sql Loader from a Unix script is there a way to code it so
that
the password will not be displayed when someone does ps -ef?

I know how to do it for sqlplus, exp and imp but not sql loader.

TIA,
Jay Miller
