Bug #23720 DB::Connect does not accept string for $dsn when using pgsql

When passing a valid DSN to DB::Connect and connecting to pgsql, DB_Pgsql expects the dsn to be an array instead of a string.  The result is a broken connect string since PHP will happily treat the string as an array.  The solution is to replace:

$this->dsn = $dsninfo;

with:

if (is_array($dsninfo)) {
    $this->dsn = $dsninfo;
} else {
    $this->dsn = $dsninfo = DB::parseDSN($dsninfo);
}

in the connect method of DB/pgsql.php.

Are you trying to switch the dsn after object creation with the factory method? This feature is not supported as far as I know.

DB_pgsql::connect() should not be called by the user.

Here is the connect code we are using:

    $db = DB::factory('pgsql_ex');
    if (DB::isError($db)) return $db;
    $connect = $db->Connect($dsn, $persistent = TRUE);
    if (DB::isError($connect)) return $connect;
    $db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);
    $db->setOption('seqname_format','%s');
    return $db;

(pgsql_ex is a small class extending DB_pgsql that adds a metadata method)

this is the expected behavior. You should be able to use DB::connect() with your custom class, which handles string dsn and options for convinience.
