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. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Hemapriya Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 10:43 AM To: pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
