Unable to connect to Pokertracker postgreSQL database - database

Question

I am following this tutorial to connect to a PostgreSQL database stored on my computer.
I am using Windows 10 and I have installed PostgreSQL 9.3
I run the following code:
import psycopg2
class PostgreSQL():
def __init__(self):
self.conecta()
def conecta(self):
#establishing the connection
conn = psycopg2.connect(
database="PokerTracker 4 Database", user='postgres', password='dbpass', host='localhost', port= '5432')
#Creating a cursor object using the cursor() method
cursor = conn.cursor()
#Executing an MYSQL function using the execute() method
cursor.execute("select version()")
# Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.
data = cursor.fetchone()
print("Connection established to: ",data)
conn.close()
if __name__=='__main__':
PostgreSQL()
I receive the following error from the cmd while running the script:
C:\Users\USUARIO\Desktop\OMAHA>python postgresql.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\USUARIO\Desktop\OMAHA\postgresql.py", line 18, in <module>
PostgreSQL()
File "C:\Users\USUARIO\Desktop\OMAHA\postgresql.py", line 4, in __init__
self.conecta()
File "C:\Users\USUARIO\Desktop\OMAHA\postgresql.py", line 7, in conecta
conn = psycopg2.connect(
File "C:\Users\USUARIO\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\psycopg2\__init__.py", line 127, in connect
conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
psycopg2.OperationalError
What am I doing wrong? I copied the code from the tutorial.

If someone is trying to connect to Pokertracker database, the error was the database name was uncorrect. Go on pokertracker to File->Open User Data Folder. Open config folder, open pokertracker.cfg and there you have all the info.
In my case this are the parameters:
import psycopg2
class PostgreSQL():
def __init__(self):
self.conecta()
def conecta(self):
hostname = 'localhost'
username = 'postgres'
password = 'dbpass'
database = 'PT4DB'
myConnection = psycopg2.connect( host=hostname, user=username, password=password, dbname=database )
cursor = myConnection.cursor()
cursor.execute("""SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'public'""")
for table in cursor.fetchall():
print(table)
myConnection.close()
if __name__=='__main__':
PostgreSQL()
There you have the notes table. You can't edit the notes, they are protected by the system of Pokertracker. cheers
