This doesn't seem to be a bug. \connect just establishes a new connection, not reusing the previous settings for most connection parameters. As the examples in the following manual page show, the user needs to specify necessary connection parameters. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/app-psql.html => \c service=foo => \c "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mydb connect_timeout=10 sslmode=disable" But I'm afraid the description of \connect may not be clear enough about connection parameters, and that may cause users to expect the reuse of all connection parameter settings. Anyway, I think this would be an improvement for psql's documentation or new feature for psql. What do you think? Regards Takayuki Tsunakawa
