The connect string should not be long, so parsing is not a big cost
performance wise.
I have currently modified the code for dblink in the patch I have uploaded
in CF.
However as per your suggestion, I will remove it during handling of other
Review comments for patch unless somebody asks to keep it.

That seems undesirable.  I don't think this is important enough to be
worth reparsing the connection string for.  I'd just forget about
doing it for dblink if there's no cheaper way.
