Postgresql: Scripting psql execution with password

Question

How can I call psql so that it doesn\'t prompt for a password?

This is what I have:

psql -Umyuser < myscript.sql         


        

Answer 1

An alternative to using PGPASSWORD environment variable is to use conninfo string according to the documentation

An alternative way to specify connection parameters is in a conninfo string or a URI, which is used instead of a database name. This mechanism give you very wide control over the connection.

$ psql "host= port=5432 dbname= user= password="
