Could we
have a version of PQconnectdb() with an API more suited for setting the
params programmatically? The PQsetdbLogin() approach doesn't scale as
parameters are added/removed in future versions, but we could have
something like this:
PGconn *PQconnectParams(const char **params)
Where "params" is an array with an even number of parameters, forming
key/value pairs. Usage example:
i extracted the functions to connect that Heikki put on psql in his
patch for determining client_encoding from client locale and put it in
libpq so i follow the PQconnectdbParams(* params[]) approach.
I was following this and never saw any firm decision on the prototype
for this function. Although, I can say the single argument version did
not appear to win any votes.
The below posts agreed on a two argument version of parallel arrays
(keywords, values):

There is also the idea of passing an array of structs floating around,
NULL terminated list or include an additional argument specifying
element count.
