Hi Chris:
Would you be willing to share your code for this?
I'm still wanting to / planning to implement this for an individual JDBC
connection as the Java process that will use it runs once a week as a
cron job.
And to Radoslaw:
Your point about the relatively weak security of storing passwords in
.pgpass files is well-taken. But I'm neither the SysAdmin nor the DBA
at where I work so I can't easily change policy. However, we are at
least required to change our database passwords on a regular basis.
