The current implementation of the connect function demands the password to make a connection. Is it a better approach to read .pgpass and respect the peer authentication setting?

Hmm I didn't know about this.

Well the correct way to handle it would be to change the password argument to a Nullable and pass C_NULL when no password is provided. libpq will then read .pgpass for the password.

It seems like a better way. Is it easy to do? I am new to julia while it sounds like a good starting point.

Yup, just involves changing a few method signatures/calls. Give it a shot! :)
