I suspected this already. Still the position of the closing angle bracket behind the "host" part in the syntax is IMHO wrong in the doc. It currently says: postgresql://[user[:password]@][host][:port][,...][/dbname][?param1=value1&...] But shouldn't it say instead: postgresql://[user[:password]@][host[:port]][,...][/dbname][?param1=value1&...] Thanks very much.
