[SQL] pg_dump "feature"

[Viorel Dragomir]

In 7.1.2 you can launch this command without any problems: pg_dump -u -s database < file.txt   where file.txt contains 2 lines: username password ~ ~ ~   And you'll get the dump of the <database>.   In 7.1.3 this command work, the only incovenience is that pg_dump shows "User name: Password:" but gets the password from file.   In 7.3.x the pg_dump accepts the password only from stdin. The user must enter his password. It's a feature or a bug, because i can't see any logic in this behaviour.   I hope i'll receive an answer, or else i'll post this topic on developers list :)   Thanks.
