Hi,

I was scanning through the postgresql documentations when i came across this 
webpage: PostgreSQL: Documentation: 15: 34.17. The Connection Service 
File<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-pgservice.html> . I am 
fairly new to database and i have a few questions regarding this:


  1.  Is pg_service.conf and .pg_service.conf (with a dot at the front) 
different files?
  2.  The documentation stated that the .pg_service.conf is named 
%APPDATA%\postgresql.pg_service.conf on windows which is a directory i can not 
find.
  3.  The documentation also stated that we can check for the sysconfigdir 
environment variable and point it to somewhere else, but when i checked for the 
sysconfigdir path, it is pointing to C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/15/etc which again, 
is a directory i can not find : to be specific, i can not find the etc file 
stated in the pathing.

So where should i put this pg_service file and does it link with the database 
itself?

Thank you
Best Regards
Jun
