It is. However, the same dbname syntax applies to all programs using libpq.

> All described this I make by psql monitor... I create database 'test'. Database 'test' is created by unix user 'paja' ('paja' is postgres user too). I create new postgres user 'petr' with password 'petr'. As 'paja', I connect to database 'test' and create table 'pom' with some cols, then execute this: 'grant insert on pom to petr;'. All is OK, but now, I want connect to database 'test' by user 'petr'... of course, I cant' use simple command:

the syntax is 'exec sql <dbname> user <username> identified by <password>'
