I'm setting my PostgreSQL server to demand md5 encrypted passwords from users. In my C programs (using libpq as the interface), it's no big deal to pass the password through PQconnectdb.
However, what about in the general case where my client program doesn't know if a password is required or not. Is there any libpq function to query the server if a password is required? Perhaps, there's a return value for PQconnectdb which would tell me that the connection failed because of the password? (In which case, I can ask for the password and try the connection again.) Thanks. -Tony ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
