I did a few tests with ECPG. I'm satisfied with the current behavior, but someone says different. I'd like to share
theresult.
The following literal connection strings succeeded. host1 is a server where PostgreSQL is not running, and host2 is
whereit's running. I could connect to the database server on host2.
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'tcp:postgresql://host1,host2:5450/postgres';
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'tcp:postgresql://host1,host2:5450,5450/postgres';
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'postgres@host1,host2:5450';
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'postgres@host1,host2:5450,5450';
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'tcp:postgresql://?service=my_service';
~/.pg_service.conf
[my_service]
host=host1,host2
port=5450 # and port=5450,5450 case
dbname=postgres
But this one makes PQconnectdbParams() fail, because the passed "host" is "host1:5450,host2" and "port" is "5450".
ECPGconnect()'sparser is different from libpq's. However, the tcp:postgresql:// syntax is not described a URL in the
manual,so I think it's sufficient to just describe the syntax in the ECPG article.
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO 'tcp:postgresql://host1:5450,host2:5450/postgres';
And without the single quote like below, ecpg fails to precompile the source file. I also think it's enough to state
inthe manual "quote the connection target if you specify multiple hosts or ports".
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO tcp:postgresql://host1,host2:5450,5450/postgres;
connect.ec:12: ERROR: syntax error at or near ","
Comments?
