The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6210 Logged by: Norman Palardy Email address: npala...@great-white-software.com PostgreSQL version: 9 Operating system: OS X Description: Description of PQconnectdbParams in documentation Details:
Description of PQconnectdbParams in documentation does not say what happens if you send parameters that the server does not recognize. More an oversight / shortcoming than anything. It appears that sending "application_name" to a server that does not support that results in a failed connection - but this is not explicitly documented. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
