Also, from http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/app-psql.html :

"When the defaults aren't quite right, you can save yourself some
typing by setting the environment variables PGDATABASE, PGHOST, PGPORT
and/or PGUSER to appropriate values. (For additional environment
variables, see Section 30.13.[1])"
