--- Comment #4 from Christopher Browne <cbbrowne at ca.afilias.info> 2010-11-08 13:52:25 PST ---
The recommendation, instead, is that one of the "best practices" is to use
.pgpass to store passwords so that they will are not included as part of
conninfo.

Pgpass usage is nicely documented here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html

It appears that when the "best practices" section was removed from the
documentation, we lost documentation that this was recommended practice. 
(That's more or less the sort of thing that's useful about a "best practices"
section.)

At any rate, if the mechanism isn't portable to many PG versions, and there is
a "best practice" that keeps passwords out of the log files, I'll close this
out as a Will Not Fix.
