从Anaconda中的Python连接到Postgresql时，应将.pgpass文件保存在哪个目录中？

Question

I've saved a .pgpass (properly configured) file in

`/Users/username/`

`/anaconda`

`/anaconda/bin/`

but the postgresql connection still requests my username and password. I'm using Anaconda and Spyder IDE. Where should I save the .pgpass file?

Answer 1

Check permissions. The .pgpass file has to have no group nor other permissions:

chmod u-x,go-rwx ~/.pgpass

A command line psql client would actually warn you about it:
WARNING: password file "/home/tometzky/.pgpass" has group or world access; permissions should be u=rw (0600) or less

Answer 2

Like the documentation says:

• The program must be using the C client library libpq to connect to PostgreSQL (the JDBC driver, for example, doesn't use libpq ).

• The .pgpass file must be in the home directory of the user that owns the process which uses libpq to connect to PostgreSQL.

• You can override the default location by either putting the variable PGPASSFILE in the process' environment or (from v10 on) with the connection parameter passfile .

• The .pgpass file must have permissions 0600 or less.
