How do I connect to a PostgreSQL server using LibreOffice Base?

Ever Forward will answer your question:

This is not an Internet URL, but it functions similarly. You now need to tell LibreOffice to connect to a specific database on a specific computer:

dbname=mydb host=localhost

Use the name of your database in the dbname part. I used localhost for the host part, since PostgreSQL is on the same computer, but I would need to change that in the event that I want to connect from a remote computer.

I know this Q is answered.. but here is more data information for someone who may stumble across this topic.

Another form of datasource URL is in the format of:

dbname=postgres hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5433 user=db_user password=libreoffice

I needed the above, because the default port used by LibreBase is 5432, but I needed 5433.
