Is it possible (and if so how) to put the username, password, and connection information for a database inside a stored procedure? I want to call stored procedures on html and asp pages without hard-coding in a username/password to the page or using a udl.

Any help would be appreciated

The problem is that you can't get to the stored procedure until you've already connected to SQL Server using a user name, password and connection information.

In ASP pages can you use a common include file that has the connection information? That stores the information in one place that can travel with the web site.

1. no....at that stage you've already connected to a database...which requires the userid/password

alternatives...
2. put it into an .ini file, .xml startup file, or into a registry entry.
3. change to using windows authentication.
