I have postgres set up to require usernames and passwords for access. The following script works just fine in 7.1.2 without manual intervention. Using 7.2.1 psql issues a password prompt and blocks until a password is manually entered.
####################################### #!/bin/sh psql mydb <<\__EOD__ mypassword create table mytable ( ssn char(9), name char(50) ); __EOD__ ####################################### For several years now I have been using scripts like the above to drop and create 14 databases, and create and populate ~100 tables on a nightly basis. I need this or something like it to work. As always I assume I am doing dumb. Can someone help? hal ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
