It is possible, you just have to construct the whole string: psql "host=thehost dbname=mydatabase user=memyselfi password=mypassword" Still, the best option, and the most secure, is to use a .pgpass file. The psql invocation with it's password will very likely end in .bash_history and alike. Regards, -- Martín Marqués http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
