Connection string: escape space

[fjf2002]

I had a connection string containing a libpq parameter value containing a space. But space is the separator for multiple values, so what to do?
I guessed a backslash is the escape symbol, and it worked.

Is that documented somewhere / you should document that at https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/config.html ?

Thank You.

Hello @davecramer, thank you for your reply.
However I just have guessed ONE THING and do not see the full picture.

• Are there other escape sequences?
• Does this work only in the libpq parameter or generally in the connection string?
• ...?

Can somebody help?
