I would like to create an script that includes calls to createdb.exe and
psql.exe. I would like to use them with a user but without asking or
prompting for pasword. For example:createdb.exe -T template0 -U MyPosgresUser MyDataBaseName.
I've read that if I define an environment variable like SET
PGPPASSWORD=MyPosgresUserPassword, both calls dont ask for password. I've
tested this variable in different platforms and does not work.
Do you know how so solve it?
What platform(s) did you test it on? Are you sure that the environment
variable was visible to the script?
Another option is to use a .pgpass file:
