Description
pg_connect opens a connection to the
PostgreSQL backend.
Two syntaxes are available. In the older one, each possible option
has a separate option switch in the pg_connect statement. In the
newer form, a single option string is supplied that can contain
multiple option values. See pg_conndefaults
for info about the available options in the newer syntax.
