Hi, A little while ago there was someone asking for tools to make it easier to connect to multiple servers. It occured to me that it might be useful to have a config file the way ssh does it:
Host production ServerName db1 DBName main Username blah Password blah UseSSL yes Host test ServerName db2 ServerPort 5434 DBName main Username blah Password blah Host * Username default So when you type "psql test" it fills in the server name, port, database, username and password for you. For hosts not listed, it gives a default username "default". It's really just a variation on the .netrc file.
