make sense

It is.
I will do the needful.

Oops I did not know about that :(
I will certainly do it from now onwards.

Earlier, I wanted to use it as a storage for data like user, dbname,
host, etc...
And hence declared it as a struct instead of class.
But later while implementation, I have introduced some function in it.

I will convert it to a class.

In fact in pgagent when you try to get the value from the given pgSet,
if that column does not exist in the set, it will return a empty string.
Hence, I did not make any checks for columns exists or not.

If you say, I can go ahead and make the change for checking for column
(jstconnstr) exists or not.

I thought of this options too. :)
Shouldn't we return a text instead of integer x.x.x support?

This might be useful in future release too.
What everybody has to say?

sure.

ok. sounds good.
