I don't think you can use encrypted passwords with Oracle. Can you point me to documentation if that is not true? Anyway, if you don't want a password in the user mapping, the way to go is external authentication. You could use the "secure" external password store, which stores the encrypted password in a wallet, or you could use SSL certificate authentication. To use an external authentication method with oracle_fdw, specify an empty user name. Also, watch out: I am not an expert with Oracle's licencing policies (that would be a full time job), but you may need to pay extra if you want good security.
