What is the format for the PostgreSQL connection string / URL?

What is the format for the PostgreSQL connection string (URL postgres://...) when the host is not the localhost?

If you use Libpq binding for respective language, according to its documentation URI is formed as follows:

postgresql://[user[:password]@][netloc][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]

Here are examples from same document

postgresql://
postgresql://localhost
postgresql://localhost:5432
postgresql://localhost/mydb
postgresql://user@localhost
postgresql://user:secret@localhost
postgresql://other@localhost/otherdb?connect_timeout=10&application_name=myapp
postgresql://localhost/mydb?user=other&password=secret

The following worked for me

const conString = "postgres://YourUserName:YourPassword@YourHostname:5432/YourDatabaseName";

DATABASE_URL=postgres://{user}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database-name}

Here is the documentation for JDBC, the general URL is "jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database"

Chapter 3 here documents the ADO.NET connection string, the general connection string is Server=host;Port=5432;User Id=username;Password=secret;Database=databasename;

PHP documentation us here, the general connection string is host=hostname port=5432 dbname=databasename user=username password=secret

If you're using something else, you'll have to tell us.
