psycopg2.connect( dsn=None, connection_factory=None, cursor_factory=None, **kwargs, ) Docstring: Create a new database connection.
The connection parameters can be specified as a string:
conn = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=postgres password=secret")
or using a set of keyword arguments:
conn = psycopg2.connect(database="test", user="postgres", password="secret")
Or as a mix of both. The basic connection parameters are:
- dbname: the database name
- database: the database name (only as keyword argument)
- user: user name used to authenticate
- password: password used to authenticate
- host: database host address (defaults to UNIX socket if not provided)
- port: connection port number (defaults to 5432 if not provided)
Using the connection_factory parameter a different class or connections factory can be specified. It should be a callable object taking a dsn argument.
Using the cursor_factory parameter, a new default cursor factory will be used by cursor().
Using async=True an asynchronous connection will be created. async_ is
a valid alias (for Python versions where async is a keyword).
Any other keyword parameter will be passed to the underlying client library: the list of supported parameters depends on the library version
