" The file .pgpass in a user's home directory or the file referenced by PGPASSFILE can contain passwords to be used if the connection requires a password" Please correct me if I am wrong and if I understood correctly then Please suggest me the way to assign password to user while its creation from a file/ or anything else than prompting for password from terminal With Regards Ashish....
