It is. However, the same dbname syntax applies to all programs using libpq.

('paja'is postgres user too). I create new postgres user 'petr' with password 'petr'. As 'paja', I connect to database
'test'and create table 'pom' with some cols, then execute this: 'grant insert on pom to petr;'. All is OK, but now, I

the syntax is 'exec sql <dbname> user <username> identified by <password>'
