After looking at the code, I am no longer sure.

There doesn't seem to be a way to specify a general connection string.

You could try setting the environment variable PGSERVICE to specify the service.

That is the way to do it. It works. Connectionstring

'Driver={PostgreSQL Unicode(x64)}'

And environment variables

PGSERVICEFILE and PGSERVICE

Will connect you. Thank you for helping with this.
