yes, definitely a typo, sorry. Thanks for pointing this out. > Should this say "as defined in pg_service.conf"? That's the default, but the > user might have $PGSERVICEFILE set to something else.

I agree to all, thanks. What is the line length limit? > Other client applications follow the same pattern as psql, so if this change > were adopted, it should apply to all of them. well, psql is central and IMHO the best place to start. I'd have to try out all of them then. What I do know, though, is that pg_isready does not understand a URI (why is that?), which is very unfortunate. So, I'd have to try them all out and supply patches for them all? Still, supporting a feature and not documenting it in its help is IMHO not a good idea. > Your proposal seems like something that would have been posted to the list > before, possibly multiple times. Any chance you could dig up past > conversations on this subject and post links here for context? I don't know any past discussions here. I only subscribed today to psql-hackers. It might have been mentioned on psql-general, though. But I'm not sure. This idea popped into my mind just yesterday when I was playing around with psql and URIs and noticed that psql –help doesn't show them. Cheers, Paul
