Force a password prompt. This should happen automatically if |

the server requires password authentication. |

This option is never essential, since |
|
|
|
|
<application>pg_dumpall</application> will automatically prompt |
|
|
|
|
for a password if the server demands password authentication. |
|
|
|
|
However, <application>pg_dumpall</application> will waste a |
|
|
|
|
connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password. |
|
|
|
|
In some cases it is worth typing <option>-W</> to avoid the extra |
|
|
|
|
connection attempt. |

Note that the password prompt will occur again for each database |
|
|
|
|
to be dumped. Usually, it's better to set up a |
|
|
|
|
<filename>~/.pgpass</> file than to rely on manual password entry. |
