I'm starting to use DBLink / DBI-Link and one of the "bad" things is that
the password is out in the clear.
What can I do to prevent it from being such? How do I protect it from
'innocent' users?
If I'm not mistaken, it's possible to put your password in the .pgpass
file in the postgres-users home folder, on the server where the postgres
cluster is running.
Isn't that how one connects using the CLI? Eg: via psql?
My connection string looks like this.
SELECT aaa
FROM dblink('dbname=hmxmms host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx user=yyy
password=zzz'::text, 'SELECT * from tablename'::text) b4(aaa xxx );
I've placed the above as a view hence the user/pass is being hardcoded(?) of
sorts
Just leave out the "password=zzz" part of the connection string.
