DBLINK creation with password hidden.

User368242Oct 21 2012 — edited Oct 31 2012
Hi,

I want to create a DBLINK but my situation demands that the password that I am giving should not be visible. As per syntax if I am giving it in IDENTIFIED BY clause then then it will be visible on the console at least to the person who is feeding it. Also it may get captured in the SYS users audit log file.Is there any way so that it will ask me to give the remote user's password and either it will be invisible as in sqlplus login attempt or it will be masked with some charecters.

Regards
BDP
