Postgres connection URI password fails

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 14:16:59 +0100

With the psql command line tool you can either pass the connection credentials as parameters or simply as one connection string.

The general form for a connection URI is:

postgresql://\[user\[:password\]@\]\[host\]\[:port\]\[,...\]\[/dbname\]\[?param1=value1&...\]

While developing an Odoo module I could no longer execute queries using connections URIs. I always got the error psql: error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "odoo".
