[Qgis-developer] pg_services on Windows

[Jeff McKenna]

I have no problems on Windows 10 with QGIS 2.16.2 and configuring 
pg_service.conf and setting a System environment variable for 
PGSYSCONFDIR (in my case pointing to D:/).  I can then connect at the 
commandline with 'psgl service=myservicename' and then through a new 
PostGIS connection in QGIS, using that service name.  I am using PG 9.5.4
