Is setting it as an environment variable an option? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/libpq-envars.html

Alternatively, a service file? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/libpq-pgservice.html

Hi:

PG v9.5.2 on RHEL

I like to use an alias to connect to my favorite DBs but don't like to enter passwords.  I used to just disable passwords (working behind a firewall), but this one is different.  I see nothing in the interactive connect string where I can enter the password...

psql -h thehost -U memyselfi mydb

Missing something like "-p mypassword"

Is there a way I can stick the pw in the linux alias definition ?

Just thinking something like this may be available since hardcoded passwords are supported in perl/dbi, pg driver

Thanks !
