I think the compile-time default really is designed for distributions - in this case debian, right? I would assume debian would prefer a combination of a compile-time default and the below, rather than just the default? > I'm thinking, libpq could really use a global (and, for that matter, a > per-user) configuration file, where you could set defaults for some of > the things that you currently have to use environment variables for, > e.g., sslmode.

So in this case, a "sslfallbackroot=/etc/somewhere" parameter, that you could then stick in etc/pg_service.conf, or in any of the other places you can specify it? The one thing I think would be really needed for that to work is to support wildcard database names in pg_service.conf? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
