[postgis-users] Any way of assigning a name alias to the system "postgres" database?

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi Bob,

In which context you want to use an alias?

If it is just for connecting to the database, check pg_services.conf
[1]. It allows you to use a name that will be resolved by the local
pg_service.conf file.

You can also use a client pool manager, like pgBouncer. It allows you to
use a local name, different from the database name.

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo
