Hi All.
There is one thing which somewhat annoys me, which is that psql always
prompts me for a password.
That makes it difficult for use in Makefile where I want to say 'make
build_db', which would run psql for
each stored procedure which needs to be updated. Is there a way to
specify that password somehow in a
command line like isql ( sybase cli client ) does?

In epistula a Dmitri Priimak, die horaque Sat, Sep 25, 2004 at 09:48:54AM -0700: Hi All.
There is one thing which somewhat annoys me, which is that psql always prompts me for a password. That makes it difficult for use in Makefile where I want to say 'make build_db', which would run psql for each stored procedure which needs to be updated.
In that case, I would dump all operations into an SQL script
and run psql once from that script, if possible.
Other options (ranging from totally insecure to more secure
than password authentication and from easy to complex in
implementation) are available, if you have administrative
control over the PostgreSQL-server:
- completely disable authentication (in $PG_DATA/pg_hba.conf)
- disable authentication for your machine only
- run the update commands on the same machine as PostgreSQL runs
and set the Unix domain socket to "ident sameuser" authentication
- use kerberos authentication
Otherwise I do not know of any other possibility to resolve
your problem other than hacking psql and implementing the
desired parameter.
Is there a way to specify that password somehow in a command line like isql ( sybase cli client ) does?
That would be truly poor idea. The command line of any process is
normally visible to every user on the system via the `ps' command:
== password.sh ==
#! /bin/sh
sleep 10
== password.sh ==
% sh password.sh & sleep 1; ps | grep password
3233 p2 SN+ 0:00,01 sh password.sh --password myPassword
Cheers,
Peter

You should be able to leave out the password altogether if you setup a
..pgpass file in your home directory. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/curre...pq-pgpass.html

Hello all,
I just wanted to pass on some information about compatibility between
the psql client and the postgres server.
On a particular network, my workstation and the server are both debian
boxes, but the workstation is on a more frequent upgrade schedule. The
server is still running postgres 7.3.4, but my workstation has been
upgraded with the latest (7.4.1) postgres client tools.

Hello,
I searched all through Google Groups, Google, and the Postgres docs, but
to no avail. I hope someone can help me out here!
I have a file that contains SQL, and some Postgres-specific slash commands.
This file calls an external shell script via the backtick mechanism, and
saves the value into a psql variable, for latter insertion into a table. It
looks something like this:

Hi folks,
probably this is a question you've heard so many times
but I wasn't able to find a solution to it.
I'm using a shell script to create a textfile for me.
It looks like
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
psql -c "select foo from bar;" -d database1 -t
psql -c "\q" -d database1
exit 0

Hello,
Today I tried connecting to my database locally via psql. I got the usual
welcome & basic help messages, but it never got to the prompt: it just
hung. So I checked top and the psql process was increasing in size at
quite a rate (up to a gig in under 30 seconds).
I'd been using psql with no problems only a couple of hours ago, and I
haven't installed anything for at least a couple of days that I can think
of.
