Hi, I’m using ogr2ogr to load a GeoPackage file into a PostGIS database. I initially tried using a command like this:
ogr2ogr --debug ON -f PostgreSQL PG:"host=<IP> user=<user> password=robin$42 dbname=data sslmode=require" file.gpkg -nln table_name However, this doesn’t work, and I always get an error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “<user>" If I restructure the command to use the alternative postgresql:// connection string like this, then it works: ogr2ogr --debug ON -f PostgreSQL 'postgresql://<user>:robin$42@<IP>/data?sslmode=require’ file.gpkg -nln table_name I don’t remember running into this problem before when connecting to PostGIS databases using the PG: connection string, so I’m wondering whether my shell is doing something strange with my password? Obviously I don’t want to share my actual password, but it has a $ in it, and I wonder whether somehow this is causing problems - but only when using the PG: connection string. Any suggestions welcome, Best regards, Robin Dr Robin Wilson www.rtwilson.com
