[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.0 Postgres Connection Problem?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

The service configuration is optional. If you did not specify a
PostgreSQL service you should leave the service field empty.

Services are a good way to keep PostgreSQL connections independent of
IP-addresses and computer names. You define a service and can exchange
the datatabase server underneath that service (running on a different
ip/name) but under the same service name.

I use PG servcices for all of my QGIS projects because I need to move
them around on different servers.

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgservice.html
