SQLite and MySQL databases can be accessed using manage.py dbshell without
entering any passwords. This isn't the case with PostgreSQL, which
requires copying the password from settings.py and pasting it again after
psql's prompt.
We can use ~/.pgpass files but they have to be set up in advance, which is
still annoying.
To the best of my knowledge, passing the password via the environment is
not a security risk.
