So you can keep passwords in a safer place (= less permissions) than the rest of the connection information. Note also that .pgpass is a mapping from connection information to password, whereas pg_service.conf is a mapping from service name to connection information. So they operate on different levels. It's not actually clear from your syntax example what semantics you are trying to achieve. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
