I often use an org file to record database queries, using sql source
blocks. I've been putting the database credentials in the file using
header-args:sql properties, but I'd prefer to have the credentials saved
in a separate file for security reasons.
Any ideas on how I could make this work?

It probably wouldn't be too hard to use the authinfo.gpg facility via
the auth-source library which is included in Emacs. In fact, I think
sql-mode might already have support for this built in.

Most servers have a plain text file (permissions 004) that let you add name and pass and db

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't see it on worg, but in ob-sql.el I
found support for ":dbconnection". I can set up an entry in
sql-connection-alist, and give the name of the entry to the sql block
via :dbconnection. Now, my password is safely out of the .org file. As a
bonus, it is easier to maintain across different org files.

The Worg entry should be fixed now. Thanks for the report.
All the best,
Tom
