+		# Create a connection to the specified server.
+		#
+		# +connection_hash+ must be a ruby Hash with connection parameters.

+		# The positional parameter form has the same functionality except that the missing parameters will always take on default values. The parameters are:

+		#   server hostname
+		# [+port+]
+		#   server port number
+		# [+options+]
+		#   backend options
+		# [+tty+]
+		#   (ignored in all versions of PostgreSQL)
+		# [+dbname+]
+		#   connecting database name

+		# [+password+]
+		#   login password
+		#
+		# Examples:
+		#
+		#   # Connect using all defaults
+		#   PG::Connection.new
+		#
+		#   # As a Hash
+		#   PG::Connection.new( dbname: 'test', port: 5432 )
