## NAME

db.login

## DESCRIPTION

db.login sets user/password for driver/database.

## NOTE

This is only related to SQL database backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL etc). The passwords are stored in a hidden file in the user account ('home' directory) called .grasslogin6. Only the file owner can access this file.

## EXAMPLES

Example 1: Username specified, password will be invisibly queried interactively:

    db.login user=bacava

Example 2: Username and password specified (note that the command lines history will store the password in this way):

    db.login user=bacava pass=secret

Example 3: Username and empty password specified (note that the command lines history will store the password in this way):

    db.login user=bacava pass=""

## SEE ALSO
