Hi everybody,

I have a really strange problem . I'm trying to connect to PostgreSQL db
from witin my C++  program and using the libpq++ interface functions . But
strangely it won't connect and I'm receiving the following error message

connection to db failed.
 Error returned:ERROR: PQconnectdb() - Missing '=' after 'template1' in
conninfo

.here's my code
PGconn *conn1;
const char * dbname="template1";
PgDatabase data(dbname);
	conn1=PQconnectdb(dbname);
	if (data.ConnectionBad())
	{
		cerr<<" connection to db failed."<< endl
			<<" Error returned:" <<  data.ErrorMessage() << endl;
		exit(1);
	}

any idea would be appreciated. thanks in advance!
deniz

I think you mean

const char * dbname="dbname=template1";

(and you don't need to do the PQconnectdb() , because the PgDatabase
object will make the connection for you...)

...hope this helps...have a nice day...
