Hi all,

I've come across an issue within pgAgent whereby it cannot/will not connect to a database where there is a space in the name.
(I know that typically pgAgent should run within the postgres db to allow pgAdmin job management, however, this is a second pgAgent running with a specific task set)

I have tried all the following variants:

"dbname='DB With Spaces 1' user=user1"
'dbname="DB With Spaces 1" user=user1'
"dbname=DB With Spaces 1 user=user1"
dbname=DB With Spaces 1 user=user1
"dbname=\'DB With Spaces 1\' user=user1"

etc etc...

All of which return:
        ERROR: Primary connection string is not valid!

Anyone know if this a limitation within pgAgent or libpq? I had an odd thought that this may be because of wxStrings...

I've not yet investigated the source to see how this is being interpreted, as I thought i'd shout up on here to see If this is a libpq limitation.

Cheers

Martin
