Re: connect to postgres from shell scripts

Take a look at the .pgpass file, some info at:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html

Doing that, your password is still as secure as your .pgpass file,
which hopefully is more secure than your script.

Subject: [ADMIN] connect to postgres from shell scripts

Hi,

I would like to know how to connect to postgres from
shell scripts using a password protected user.

Is there a way to embed the password in psql login.
It keeps prompting for the passwords.

Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks
Priya
