Hi,

I want to use postgres as part of my application.  I need to create a database and initialize it and fill it with data as part of the installation process.  There is information that is expected to be there.

Now when I try to use psql from a batch script it always prompts for a password.  I would like for the installation process to not require any interaction.

Is there a way to create a database and add tables to it that doesn't require the password prompt?  I didn't see a command line parameter that allowed you to just enter a password in the command line.

The application is in Java, so I was thinking about using JDBC to create the database and then to create the tables.  Is it possible to create a database/tables with JDBC?  I'm not too familiar with it, I've been using Hibernate for the database transactions.

The best option is using the script, as I already have one that works.

Thanks,
Joe
