Yes, of course. This example came just from me using the Debian release of
6.3 which opens template1 as default. I cannot run 6.4, so I have to test
with the old version.

I do not enter a default myself, but rather let PQsetdb handle it.

That looks good. But to be really usefule I think we should add both ways
not only to ecpg, but to psql as well.

How about a adding the parser code for both to PQsetdb so we can do:

PQsetdeb(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,"postgres://server:port/dbname")

and

PQsetdeb(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,"dbname(at)server:port")

as synonym for

PQsetdb(server,port,NULL,NULL,dbname)?
