Thread: how to run psql without password prompt when using auth MD5/Password
Hi,
Is there a way to run psql -U user -d dbname -c "select....."
without the psql asking for a password prompt from the user?
when setting the pg_hba.conf file to use md5 or password.
(btw, i've tried using ident, but couldn't make it work with jboss).
thanks!
Eyal.

of course trust is a way :)
but i need a more secure way, as my company requires.. like md5.
only i want to be able to enter the password in the command line and not be promoted (so a script can do it).

sorry, didn't saw the other option.
setting PGPASSWORD does the trick, even with md5.
thanks!!
