1. Connect string again

   Michael Meskes <meskes@topsystem.de> — 1998-05-25T14:22:16Z

   A while ago we agreed to use DB names like the JDBC standard:
   
   <protocol>:postgresql:\\<server>[:port]\dbname[?<option>]
   
   Before I start working on libpq I would like to know which protocols it
   should accept. Is there a norm for this?
   
   Suggestions: sql, esql, pq, ecpg ...

   Hey, what's with the backslashes?? Didn't know a non-M$ system even had
   'em on the keyboard :)
   
   Seriously, is that a typo?

   pq seems to be a little too short to me.
   
   I'd have thought sql, or libpq. ecpg could be used as well for clients
   that use ecpg.
   
   While thinking about this, an alternative could be the network protocol
   being used, tcp or unix (although the server part of the url would be
   ignored for this one).

   How about adding things like proc since we are able to parse most of the
   Oracle stuff?

   That one makes even more sense IMO. If it's unix, the server only can be the
   local host.
