Hello, 
 
How do I specify in the command-line to access the .pgpass file when creating a 
database?
 
I would like to use ~/.pgpass instead of –W on the command line when creating a 
database (createdb) and was wondering the correct syntax. 
 
For example, 
 
I don’t want to have to include (-W): 
C:\postgressql\bin>createdb -U postgres –p 5432 -W –E UTF8 myDatabase
 
 
and substitute it for ~/.pgpass or PGPASSFILE:
 
C:\postgressql\bin>createdb -U postgres –p 5432 ~/.pgpass –E UTF8 myDatabase
 
 
How do I inform the complier to extract the password from the file and not the 
prompt the user?
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
