Hi, I made a patch to make the error message more user-friendly when using a URI to connect a database with psql. Current Error Message: $ psql "postgres://localhost:5432/postgres?application_name=a b" psql: error: trailing data found: "a b" Currently, if spaces exist in the URI, psql displays this generic error message. New Error Message (with patch): psql: error: found unexpected spaces: “a b“. Did you forget to percent-encode spaces? This revised message is clearer and more concise, guiding users to check for encoding issues.
I agree the error message could be improved. The phrasing "Did you forget" feels a bit indirect to me. How about using something clearer and more direct instead? ----------- psql: error: unexpected spaces found "a b", use percent-encoded spaces instead ----------- Regards, -- Fujii Masao Advanced Computing Technology Center Research and Development Headquarters NTT DATA CORPORATION
