     The PDO_PGSQL Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements, delimited by spaces or semicolons:
     <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
       <term>DSN prefix</term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
        The DSN prefix is <userinput>pgsql:</userinput>.

      <varlistentry>
       <term><literal>host</literal></term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
         The hostname on which the database server resides.

      <varlistentry>
       <term><literal>port</literal></term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
         The port on which the database server is running.

      <varlistentry>
       <term><literal>user</literal></term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
         The name of the user for the connection. If you specify the user name
         in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the user name argument in the
         PDO constructor.
        </para>

      <varlistentry>
       <term><literal>password</literal></term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
         The password of the user for the connection. If you specify the
         password in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the password argument
         in the PDO constructor.
        </para>

        <para>
         The SSL mode. Supported values and their meaning are listed in the
         <link xlink:href="&url.pgsql.manual;">PostgreSQL Documentation</link>.

     <note>
      <simpara>
       All semicolons in the DSN string are replaced by spaces, because PostgreSQL
       expects this format. This implies that semicolons in any of the components
       (e.g. <literal>password</literal> or <literal>dbname</literal>) are not
       supported.
