Since URI stings are popular, it might really make sense if pg could recommend a preferred form of postgres URI strings (and obviously implement it in libpq). For the non-libpq APIs (there's at least http://python.projects.postgresql.org/, don't know about others), it would still be just a recommendation that they could follow or not follow, so the situation wouldn't change too much from today, I fear. cheers -- vbi -- East Indians sometimes see Heaven as a giant bureaucracy, and frequently report being sent back because of clerical errors. <http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2007/01/culture_and_neardeath_experien.php>
