Re: Windows pgpass Problems..

Eric, I will be interested to see someone's response to your message,
because I am having the same problem (in Windows 2003, version 8.0). I want
to use it in a batch file that invokes psql to load a database, etc. without
prompting for a password. I have not tried to use wildcards (defeats the
purpose of what I am doing), but have used the specific values for
hostname:port:database:user:password, with no luck.

I (initially) did not know where %appdata%\postgresql should be; be sure
your pgpass.conf file is in the right place. You can find it by using this
command at the DOS command prompt:
   echo %appdata%

Subject: [ADMIN] Windows pgpass Problems..


I have been stuggling all day with the pgpass ability on 8.0 Postgres - on
Windows 2000.   I have been to the
documentation:<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/libpq-pgpass.h
tml> After reading many threads on similar problems, I just cannot seem to
get a batch file to recognize that pgpass is there.   I have dropped it into
the Application data directory postgresql\pgpass.conf of 'Administrator',
(My windows username), 'postgres', 'All Users', etc, etc.    The contents I
have tried for the pgpass file areeach of the combinations of:

localhost:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
localhost:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
..and many others

<dbusername> has been postgres and other test superuser accounts.   Nothing
seems to work.  I have restarted postgres, restarted windows, and it simply
wont take..

Regards,
Eric Emerton
