Re: <no subject>

From PostgreSQL 7.3.1 Documentation, section 1.10. Environment Variables:

PGPASSWORD sets the password used if the backend demands password
authentication. _This functionality is deprecated for security reasons_;
consider migrating to use the $HOME/.pgpass
<libpq-files.html#PGPASSFILE> file.

See Victor Yegorov's response (he also recommends .pgpass) and section
1.11. Files for details.
