Hi,

I'm writing a stored proc that calls the bcp or textcopy commands. Both of these utilities require a password as a parameter.

In Oracle I can specify an Session variable that passes the current sessions password to a application without it being seen. Does anyone know if there is the same sort of facility in SQL server or do I have to hard code the passwords.

Thanks in Advance
