Subject: Connecting without specifying a database

Message-ID: <1108036223.3706.12.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Can PQconnectdb(), or something else, be used without specifying the
dbname in the connection string? I want to connect just so that I can
create a database that does not exist yet.
When I don't specify the dbname, PQconnectdb() tries to connect to a
database with the same name as the user, and then complains that it does
not exist. Is it really necessary for each user to have an empty
database like this?
