Postgres `sslmode` parameter support

See original GitHub issue

I can’t figure out clearly, is sslmode parameter supported for connection strings? As I can see in pg-connection-string, sslmode isn’t parsed, but I can see its mention in the codebase.

I use pg-promise in my project, and I have sslmode parameter in the Postgres connection string from Google Cloud. So I can’t connect due to the database "dbname?sslmode=disable" does not exist, that’s why I’m asking 😃

I don’t think using a different connection string parser will change that.

What makes a difference - this driver continues to use an ancient version of pg-connection-string, and for no good reason that I know of.

And though I suggested more than once to switch over to the generic connection-string, it is turned down every time on some premise of old compatibility that few would care about. So you keep getting issues open and people getting confused about all the discrepancies going on between the object format and the connection string syntax. This should have been sorted ages ago.

You can, for the time being use generic connection-string to parse it, and use the connection object with any parameters that you want.

Other than that, I submitted a PR there sometime ago, but it’s still just hanging there.
