Hello there, thanks for Org Mode!
ob-sql.el has a function org-babel-execute:sql. This function extracts
the password to connect to your database of choice as dbpassword.
It then uses it like this:
(if dbpassword
(format "PGPASSWORD=%s " dbpassword)
"")
If the password contains an & character, the execution of a block fails.
I solved like this:
(if dbpassword
(format "PGPASSWORD='%s' " dbpassword)
"")
Hope this is of help,
Andrea
