could someone describe the format for the connection string for ZPyGreSQLDA? i've looked everywhere but cannot find it documented.
Many database adapters use the followin scheme: database@host:port user password @host and :port and password may be omitted, but I think user must be included.
i have a database called 'test' which i can connect to using psql. it is running on the default port 5432. i have also successfully connected using the python module.
the "obvious" connection strings ("test@localhost:5432", etc) don't
For default settings (localhost and 5432) you may omit these parts, so just use "test", but add user part: test www (and allow user "www" to access the DB "test" withou password; or better; use password)
work. everything i try when establishing the database gives an "Invalid connection string" error.
