This is why psql has provisions for encrypting a new password on the client side --- see \password. More generally, almost any SQL command might contain data that somebody thinks is sensitive for some purpose or other. If you're going to log commands, it behooves you to make sure the log is not widely readable. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
