It would be nice, if some work were going to be done in this area,
if a provision could be made for Gnucash to optionally not to ask
for or send any password to the database, to allow Postegresql's
.pgpass access method to work.  (I don't know if MySql offers a
similar facility.)  I suspect that many people who choose to use
Gnucash with Postgresql do so because they are already using
Postgresql for other things and would prefer an access method
that they are already using for those other things.
