Thread: alter user does not changes password
Hi all: I know it's a silly question, but I've googling around and searching mailist archive with no answer to my question: I'm using self compiled PostgreSQL 7.2.1 in a RH 7.1 box. As described in http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?sql-alteruser.html I'm trying to change a user's password as: alter user camara with password 'canabis!'; but when I try to connect: $ psql -U camara dbcamara; User "camara" logs with no password!!!! If I use -W option of psql It prompts for password and I can enter whatever I want... it accepts! It must be a feature.. not a bug... I know I'm making a mistake.. but.. where?? bests regards -- []'s Lucas Brasilino brasilino@recife.pe.gov.br http://www.recife.pe.gov.br Emprel - Empresa Municipal de Informatica (pt_BR) Municipal Computing Enterprise (en_US) Recife - Pernambuco - Brasil Fone: +55-81-34167078
