Hi,
In addition to what Daniel Verite said, I think you should use numeric
IP address instead of the host name, or consider replacing 'hostaddr'
with 'host' if you plan to use host names.
'hostaddr' is meant to be used when you want to avoid the name resolution step.
conn = PQconnectdb("host='databaseserver.com' port='5432'
dbname='test_db' user='test_user' password='secret'");
regards,
diego
