Connect and disconnect to a local Postgres database that does not require credentialing. These functions automatically set the dbms and server arguments to "postgresql" and "localhost/dbname", leaving the database name (dbname) and port (port) as the only connection details that are modifiable by the user. Note that these functions cannot be used to connect to a local instance that requires a username and password.

This function returns a connectionDetails class object for functions that make the database connection within its caller environment, such as those belonging to the OHDSI Feature Extraction package. A connection can be made by passing the connectionDetails class object to the connect. This process can be simplified into a single function call with localConnect, which performs both operations but will not return a connectionDetails object if it is desired as a return value.

This function combines the process of creating a connectionDetails object and making the connection in a single function call. If a connectionDetails object is required, see makeLocalConnDetails.
