Hello Noah,
Although I guess it can be avoided by `-reuse-previous=off`, probably it
makese sense to update the docs.
Yep, that is one option. The other is to revert or alter the subtle
change, but ISTM that it made sense in some use case, so I wanted some
time to think about it and test.
Sure, no one argue that the behaviour should be changed, it's only about the
documentation part.
No, I was arguing that a behavior should revert back its v11 behavior:
I got that. I'm working on it, and on the other issues you raised.
The issue I see is what do we want when a name resolves to multiple
addresses. The answer is not fully obvious to me right now. I'll try to
send a patch over the week-end.
\connect mydb myuser myhost
-- should resolve "myhost" again, like it did in v11
\connect
\connect "dbname=mydb host=myhost hostaddr=127.0.0.1"
-- ok to reuse hostaddr=127.0.0.1; I agree that's a feature
\connect
--
Fabien.
