You Asked

I have a stored procedure which saves reports to disk using utl_http.

E.g. http://host:port/reports/rwservlet?server=oradev+USERID=username/dbpw@dev+report=myrpt+paramform=no+desformat=PDF+destype=file+desname=

The USERID parameter requires the database username/password and I don't want the password hardcoded in the stored procedure. Any idea how hardcoding the password can be avoided?

Thanks

Consider using a keymap file for the parameters that do not change
