Option to use a uri like „postgres://user:password@host:port/database“ #70

Your Question

Simple Question, but hard to find an answer online: Is there an option to use URIs instead of DSNs to connect to the database? This would make working with Heroku Postgres a lot easier!

The document you expected this should be explained

Maybe create an issue on pgx driver?

URI's already work with this driver in GORM since the underlying postgres driver already supports it. I use URI all the time for gorm/postgres. The only part that might not work is in this code base (but I have not hit an issue with it). It is this line https://github.com/go-gorm/postgres/blob/6752fb0c81ab98d437cbb100026f72ea8444bd0f/postgres.go#L65

It would be nice if the documentation was updated to point out that URIs do in fact work.
