Thread: Asking for the [conninfo] definition

  When using PQconnectStart( const char *conninfo), not knowing what the conninfo look like. How to set the arguments
suchas host, port, dbname, user, password, etc. We want to know the definition, too. ps: the document: programming
manualpage 118 (ch17 libpq - C library ) is not quite clear and make us confused.       Thanks for answering our
questions!

I haven't checked, but from memory eg:

PGconn *conn;
conn=PQconnectStart("dbname=test user=nobody");
