Thanks you. Once more quickie. It seems that I am going to be asked for my password every time psql loops through the copy statement. What is considered best practices to handle authentication? I am connecting locally, as myself as the user and I'm being asked for my user password. I added the -w (no-password) to the psql statement, but now assume I need to add a .pgpass file or something.
