Hi,
I have a password Vl=SO*CIz%A83FQF that is working fine like that in the
command prompt but when it is being used in a batch file it is giving me
an error of wrong password, the password is something looks like that in
batch script.
set "PGPASSWORD=Vl=SO*CIz%A83FQF"
Also, the first double quote seems to be in the wrong position. This is the
canonical way to define a string:
set PGPASSWORD="Vl=SO*CIz%A83FQF"
More information needed.
1) What sort of batch script; shell, Python, etc?
2) OS and version.
3) What is set pointing at?
4) PGPASSWORD is an environment variable per:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/libpq-envars.html
So I would expect export PGPASSWORD = .
5) Why not use pgpass?:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgpass.html
Could you please help me in getting this password read by command prompt
in the batch file.
Regards.
