Thread: using password protection in pgtcl

I want to use the pg_connect function of pgtcl on a database that requires
password authentication.  Is there an option of pg_connect that allows
passing a username and password to make the connection?

Thanks,
Vegeta

Try: pg_connect -conninfo "user=$user password=$password"
