(pgAdmin does this..)


I still have pgAdmin installed :-)  it's a good reference tool.
I imagine you guys are using it for the pg_restore/pg_dump? There really should be a pg_dump.dll and a pg_restore.dll so a pgpass file would not be needed. The microolap guys have created the dlls and it's what I use now for my dump/restore operations.

Is there a way to tell libpq in the connection string or something not to use a pgpass.conf file? I looked in the libpq docs but didn't really see anything.

I kind of don't like the way the pgpass file affected all the apps that used libpq, it could be considered a security risk.
