I assume db_passowrd=tiger should be db_password=tiger. Is that correct?

Sorry typo
Yes, you are correct :)

Why would you use cat to redundantly pipe to sed? That line can be changed to remove the extraneous cat command.
sed -e 's/db_password=.*/db_passw
You can chain multiple cammands in sed.
sed -e 's/db_password=.*/db_passw
sed -e 's/db_password=.*/db_passw
You can chain multiple cammands in sed.
sed -e 's/db_password=.*/db_passw

I object to the above closure attempt, since it doesn't make much sense to be thanking experts while assigning points to one's own comment which wasn't even an answer. I'm guessing this was a mistake.
You can chain multiple cammands in sed.
sed -e 's/db_password=.*/db_passw
True, serialband, and you can also do it without any '-e' switches like this:
sed 's/db_password=.*/db_passw
