Yes, I know see the difference, I got confused by the way the code reuses the dbname keyword to pass the connection string and the fact that $ psql --dbname "postgres://localhost/test" works, but the dbname parameter of psql is not the same as the dbname used by libpq. > Perhaps there is a case for inventing a new environment variable > that can do what you're suggesting.

I think it could be convenient to have such an environment variable but given your feedback I will just make it specific to my application rather than a part of libpq. Best, Rémi
