[GENERAL] specifying a password on the cmd line for db connect

[Gauthier, Dave]

Hi:

Is there a way to require and specify a password at the cmd line for a connect? 
 At first glance...

--username foo  --password fee

would seem to be what I want.  But it just prompts me for a password (after 
interpreting "fee" as the DB name).

Thanks In Advance
