Hi,
according to the docs, the database specification in the pg_hba.conf file can be read from a separate file
(<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html>:“A separate file containing database names can be
specifiedby preceding the file name with @.”)
However, I could not find a specification of the format for this file… It appears as if simply giving each database
nameon a separate line does the job. Is this correct? May the file contain comments (i.e. lines starting with “#”) or
emptylines? May the file be specified including a path (e.g. “@/some/path/databases”)?
IMHO, it might be helpful if this information would be added to the docs.
Thanks, Albrecht.
