Re: PQconnectdb question and md5 password

Hello Marcelo,
Thanks for your respons

I have a password and is what I need.
My pg_hba.conf have 'md5' :
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

My question are just how I can connect from the C api with an md5
password or it's not possible ?

Regards
Guy
