You have to connect to *some* database, as Postgres doesn't have the
concept of just connecting to the server without connecting to a database.

Postgres has a maintenance database called "postgres" which is empty,
and it's normal to use this for initial connections if you haven't
already got a specific database to work with. In psql, there's a \c
command with changes the database to which you're connected, and you'll
see this command used in the output from pg_dump to connect to the
database being dumped.

HTH,

Ray.
