I had a connection string containing a libpq parameter value containing a space. But space is the separator for multiple values, so what to do?
I guessed a backslash is the escape symbol, and it worked.

Is that documented somewhere / you should document that at https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/config.html ?


Thank You.
