I use the Mclient in conjunction with XQuery. When I do a CVS checkout, I get the version of Mapiclient where the -P option has disappeared, yet it still asks me for a password.
Not that is make a difference for this issue, but you might have missed that the MonetDB code repository moved from sourceforge CVS to our own Mercurial (hg) repository hosted by MonetDB.org; cf., http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB
... unfortunately, SourceForge appears to be completely unreachable right now (one reason for us to leave SF), so I cannot even point you to the news and mailing list postings that announced the move ...
My question is: how do I disable the password prompt?
`man mclient` (admittedly not available on Windows) says among others
" Before mclient starts parsing command line options, it reads a .monetdb file. If the environment variable DOTMONETDBFILE is set, it reads the file pointed to by that variable. When unset, mclient searches for a .monetdb file in the current working directory, and if that doesn’t exist, in the current user’s home directory. This file can contain defaults for the flags user, password and language. For example, an entry in a .monetdb file that sets the default language for mclient to sql looks like this: language=sql. To disable reading the .monetdb file, set the variable DOTMONETDBFILE to the empty string in the environment. "

It is a bit too much to enter the password for thousands of queries, although I can type quite quickly. ;-)
