unless your concerned about the sys admin having access to the passwords,
generally using file level security is suitable to protect scripts with
passwords in them.  But that depends on how comfortable you are with the SA,
and if the shop has a fairly stable security structure.

I am working on scripts that will create tables and users, grant
permissions, etc. every night on a clean copy of our db.  Without
dbms_sys_sql, I would have to connect to other users to do the grants.
I
don't want passwords anywhere in my scripts, I want to connect once then
run
everything from this one user.  dbms_sys_sql takes in a userid and sql
text
(plus a couple of other things) and runs the sql as that user.

Linda,

you should be using dbms_sql instead, which incidentally is *very*
stable.
What feature of dbms_sys_sql you need but isn't provided by dbms_sql? I
am
just curious ...
