 ### Example
 
-    var Client = require('pg').Client;
-    var client = new Client({
-      user: 'brianc',
-      database: 'test',
-      password: 'boom' //plaintext or md5 supported
-    });
+    var pg = require('pg');
     
-    client.connect();
-    client.on('drain', client.end.bind(client));
-
-    //queries are queued on a per-client basis and executed one at a time
-    client.query("create temp table user(heart varchar(10), birthday timestamptz);");
+    pg.connect("pg://user:password@host:port/database", function(err, client) {
+      if(err) {
+        //handle connection error
