Neil Conway 7815ca7bef Rewrite much of psql's \connect code, for the sake of code clarity and 
to fix regressions introduced in the recent patch adding additional
\connect options. This is based on work by Volkan YAZICI, although
this version of the patch doesn't bear much resemblance to Volkan's
version.

\connect takes 4 optional arguments: database name, user name, host
name, and port number. If any of those parameters are omitted or
specified as "-", the value of that parameter from the previous
connection is used instead; if there is no previous connection,
the libpq default is used. Note that this behavior makes it
impossible to reuse the libpq defaults without quitting psql and
restarting it; I don't really see the use case for needing to do
that.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

pl/c - Included in PostgreSQL core 
plPgsql - Included in PostgreSQL core - Similar to Oracle PL/sql
plPerl - Included in PostgreSQL core
plPHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
plPython - Included in PostgreSQL core
plJava - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
plTcl - Included in PostgreSQL core

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
