Hi I programmed an application which uses postgres 9.0. Currently i am writing an installer for my application and wrote my own GUI to set up postgres settings and i already install it ofer the original setup.exe with parameters. After that i want to create user roles and tables with psql.exe and have written 3 scripts: -> one for creating user roles (create role statemenst bey superuser) -> one for creating data bases (create table statements by superuser) -> one for initializing data bases (insert statements by new role) I have the problem that when i run my batch i always have to let the user type in the password, thats nasty... I also tried PGPASSWORD but it does not work, it always prints that it is the wrong password... MyBatchfileOfInstallingAndInitializingPostgres.bat [Superusername] [Superuserpassword] [DataBaseOwnerName] [DatabaseownerPassword] @echo off %~d0 cd %~dp0 if not exist "%~dp09.0\bin\psql.exe" postgresql-9.0.4-1-windows_x64.exe --mode unattended --install_runtimes 0 --create_shortcuts 0 --prefix "%~dp09.0" --datadir "%~dp09.0\data" --serverport 5432 --serviceaccount %1 --superpassword %2 --servicepassword %2 rem set PGPASSWORD=%2 "%~dp09.0\bin\psql.exe" -U %1 -p 5432 -f CreateUser.sql "%~dp09.0\bin\psql.exe" -U %1 -p 5432 -f CreateDatabase.sql echo Enter ReDeformUser password to initialize ReDeformDB rem set PGPASSWORD=%4 "%~dp09.0\bin\psql.exe" -a -d "ReDeformDB" -U %3 -p 5432 -f Inserts.sql Thanks for any help -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
