Hi,

      I want to get postgres connection in script file. I am executing
below command and successfully getting connected ---

psql postgresql://$USER:$PASSWORD@$HOST/$DATABASE <<END

select * from abc;

This is executing with default 5432 port.If postgres is installed to
any other port then port option need to be include here[Don't want to
take port from .pgpass file].

How I can modify this command with PORT option.

Thanks

postgresql://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][,...][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]

Rgards, Andreas

If all you are going to do is substitute environment variables into a URI
why not just identify the environment variables that psql uses directly,
set those, and call "psql" directly.​

select * from abc;

​You couldn't even if you wanted to.​ Did you maybe mean the
.pg_service.conf file?

You should strongly consider using .pgpass instead of "$PASSWORD" -
especially depending upon where perform the export.
