The following is accepted syntax:
exec sql connect to <database name> [as <connection name>] [user <user name>]
exec sql connect to default
exec sql <user name>
As for the database name you can choose two different sets of syntax:
new style:
<tcp|unix>:postgresql://server[:port][/dbname][?options]
old style:
style: dbname[@server][:port]
Finally the user name can be written as:
<user>
<user>/<password>
<user> identified by <password>
<user> using <password>
Hope this helps.
Michael
