Re: Windows psql changes after 8.1.1

Hi Magnus,

I did not use PGPASSWORD because the documentation says it is not  
secure. I'll give it a try on Windows. Just curious, why is stdin/ 
stdout insecure if that is what is used for normal interactive  
operation?

Could you point me to the file that changed in 8.1.4?

Thanks!

John
