Re : pg_dump auto login

Warren,

make sure that the pgpass.conf contains the correct entries (server name, user name, password).
If you are prompted for a password, it's because pg_dump could not find a matching entry to what is specified in your pg_dump command.
You can make a test with pgAdmin and if it prompts your for a password then you can type it then and ask to save it (that will be in your pgpass.conf) ... then next time, you will not be prompted any more in pg_dump or pgAdmin.

Cheers,

Objet : [GENERAL] pg_dump auto login

I have two different machines that run pg_dump in a batch file. One
prompts
for a password and the other one does not. I am running version 8.1 on
Windows XP. Both machines have a pgpass.conf file in the right place.
The
Administrator user runs the batch file. How do I get pg_dump to run
without
prompting for a password?

Thanks,

Warren
