At least for unix-domain socket connections, Postgres appears to
default a database equal to the username attempting the connection.
With "hosts = postgresql:///" I get:
postmap: warning: connect to pgsql server postgresql:///: connection to
server on socket "/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: database
"viktor" does not exist?
postmap: fatal: table pgsql:/tmp/table.cf: query error: Application error
while with "hosts = postgresql:///dane", I am able to make queries
against the DANE/DNSSEC survey database:
$ postmap -q postfix.org pgsql:/tmp/table.cf
list.sys4.de
Lots of text at: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/libpq-connect.html
It also mentions that:
The URI scheme designator can be either postgresql:// or
postgres://.
Perhaps we should support both?
All the while the unused "dbname" was set to "dane".

static void plpgsql_connect_single(DICT_PGSQL *dict_pgsql, HOST *host)
{
if (host->type == TYPECONNSTR) {
host->db = PQconnectdb(host->name);
} else {
host->db = PQsetdbLogin(host->name, host->port, NULL, NULL,
dict_pgsql->dbname, dict_pgsql->username,
dict_pgsql->password);
}
...
The "dict_pgsql->dbname" value is only used for non-URI "hosts" elements.
I've never used "pgsql" tables myself. The only Postgres database I
operate listens only on a unix-domain socket. I don't
