Question: can I use a regular connection string?

See original GitHub issue

Can I use a regular connection string with this library?

Docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING

Examples:

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

I would expect to be able to do something like this:

let! data = 
  "postgresql://user:secret@localhost"
  |> Sql.connect
  |> Sql.query "SELECT * FROM some_table"
  |> Sql.executeTableAsync

Hi @jchannon, you can use the literal string as input for the Sql.connect function and do stuff from that point on:

"Server=localhost;Database=myDb;Uid=foo;Pwd=bar;"
|> Sql.connect
|> Sql.query "SELECT * FROM users"
|> Sql.execute (fun read -> read.string "username")
