Hi Guys,

do you have also problem that every time you have to log into your database using shell and psql?

I have to write over and over localhost, username, password...how to force shell to remember this?


​Use a service file.​

psql "service=mydb" -c "SELECT 1;"

​https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-pgservice.html

I also, for scripts, simply define a function at the top of the script psql_* and invoke that function instead of psql directly.

I use .pgpass for passwords
