I am having difficulty connecting to the postgres server from Racket. It
asks for a password, but role and authentication is set up so that the
logged in local user does not need one.
1. these versions:
(Debian 4.6.3-14)
Racket 5.2.1
postgres (9.1.14)
2. running psql from a shell prompt doesn't prompt for anything, just works:
> psql
psql (9.1.14)
Type "help" for help.
lynch=> \list
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access
privileges
-----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------
lynch | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres
+
| | | | |
postgres=CTc/postgres
template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres
+
| | | | |
postgres=CTc/postgres
(4 rows)
3. running from racket however, gives an error, saying it needs a password:
racket@> (require db)
racket@> (define pgc (postgresql-connect #:database "lynch" #:user "lynch"))
postgresql-connect: password needed but not supplied
stdin::319: ((checked-procedure-check-and-extract struct:keyword-procedure
pgc keyword-procedure-extract (quote (#:database #:user)) (quote 2)) (quote
(#:database #:user)) (list temp7 temp8))
Ah, so what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks.
