Here my query is, if i write this command in a separate ruby file how can i give password in that command. in my sql, we can use mysqldump -h #{host} -u #{user} -p#{pwd} dbname > dump.sql if use like that it wont ask password anymore. but how is it possible in postgres. Thanks in Advance Saravanan K -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
