This is a known bug that was fixed in 9.0.4. When I try it now, I get a PGconn object back, with status CONNECTION_BAD, and PQerrorMessage returns invalid connection option "host_addr" which was the intended behavior all along, but there was a typo in 9.0; see http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=672def62259354f28000e8cfb97b6668192369c2 In theory at least, you should only get a NULL back if there's insufficient memory to create a PGconn object at all. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
