Hello,

I'm trying to automate some postgresql scripts, but I cannot find a way
to pass a password directly to commands like pg_dump psql and so on.
Even a

echo "password" | psql

doesn't work, the password prompt of psql is still waiting.

mysql has the -p option. What would be the postgresql equivalent? I
don't want to enter passwords dozend times.

Regards
Marten
