Hi,

I've just found Databasus, this application looks promising and good, but... I have applications running with spaces in the password db connection string.

When I enter such a password in the connection window and press "test connection" I'm getting an error :(
After making a test user without spaces in password "Test connection" has no issues connecting.

Is there a chance that I can use my current password for backing up my data? This is the first application I've stumbled upon that has issues with spaces in passwords. Password sentences is now a days a good practice, it would be much appreciated when I can keep my spaces :)

Oh... I was trying to set Databasus up in combination with a Postgres version 15 db.
