oracle - Force Excel to exclude UID in connection string on ODBC Data Connection? -


i have several excel reports query oracle database via odbc share other users. each user has own user id , password saved in hkey_local_machine/software/odbc/odbc.ini file make connecting these databases easier.

each time add query excel, excel automatically creates connection string can executed each time data needs refreshed in excel. connection string of form:

dsn=database;uid=username;dbq=dbase;dba=w;apa=t;exc=f;fen=t;qto=t;frc=10;fdl=10;lob=t;rst=t;btd=f;bnf=f;bam=ifallsuccessful;num=nls;dpm=f;mts=t;mdi=f;csr=f;fwc=f;fbs=64000;tlo=o;mld=0;oda=f;”

i want excel exclude uid=username parameter these connection strings builds pull username registry instead. password value, not username.

if manually delete uid parameter, excel automatically fills in again each time query refreshed , fills in ever user last refreshed query:

connection string dialog

i’ve tried filling in username uid=/, seems tell excel pull username registry want first time it’s run; subsequently, oracle odbc driver connect login pops thinking username /:

oracle connect dialog

so seems oracle or doesn’t recognize parameter consistently.

basically i’m trying find out if there’s kind of wildcard or other parameter can use fill in uid field both excel , oracle odbc driver connect dialog know go , pull username registry; or if there’s way prevent excel adding uid parameter connection string each time connection refreshed.

if not, i’m thinking solution may build excel add-on automatically deletes uid field whenever excel tries add connection string.

the solution came split connection string array, clear element began "uid=", , put connection string together.
