Hello,

I am trying to move data from one postgres database to another using
the Ruby postgres adapter. However, I keep getting a password
authentication error whenever I try. My sysadmin keeps indicating that
there is no password on that database and the Rails apps I use don't
indicate any password in database.yml and work fine. Am I being lied
to or is there some other secret I don't know? Thanks for any help or
suggestions. Here's the code I'm using (and line 184 DOES work):

184: db1 = PGconn.connect('dbserver1.blah.com', 5432, '', '',
'database1_name', 'username', 'password')
185: db2 = PGconn.connect('dbserver2.blah.com', 5432, '', '',
'database2_name', 'username', '')

And here's the error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/postgres-pr-0.4.0/lib/postgres-pr/
connection.rb:55:in `initialize': FATAL        C28000  MPassword
