Re: scripts and ~/.psqlrc

" PGPASSWORD sets the password used if the server demands password
authentication. Use of this environment variable is not recommended for
security reasons (some operating systems allow non-root users to see
process environment variables via ps); instead consider using the
~/.pgpass file "

Hello

I want to write some scripts which could connect to databse and work in
background. I want to avoid situation in which i have to
manually/interactively give appriopriate password everytime i query
database.

How can i do it in most easily way ?

I found that there is ~/.psqlrc file which could be used as
configuration file for user. Can i put there databsename, hostname,
username and most important: password ?, so i could connect to my
database only by typing:
#psql

Thanx
Michal
