The following works for me in 8.0.0rc2 and 7.4.6, making the
connection based on PGDATABASE, PGUSER, etc.:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char *target = "";
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO :target;
The following, however, dumps core with a segmentation fault:
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO DEFAULT;
Here's a backtrace from 8.0.0rc2:
#0 0x280d5dcc in strdup () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4
#1 0x2806efac in ECPGconnect (lineno=17, c=0, name=0x0, user=0x0, passwd=0x0,
