Hi Toni,

It makes sense to have in all connections to the database. The application_name is already used by QGIS Server.

To have it in QGIS desktop (from core), a few edits must be made to make it happen. Maybe there are plug

Can you add this a new feature request?

Regards,

Jorge

Hi all,

my QGIS project is saved in postgres/postgis. The database instance exists of 2 databases in replication mode (primary, hot standby). Where hot standby is readonly. Before them pgpool2 acts as a load balancer where /WRITE/ only goes to primary and /SELECT/ queries go to both.

My Problem now is, that QGIS uses

SELECT pg_is_in_recovery();

to detect if the database is readonly and if so, editing will be locked.
Now whenever the connection is establish from the load balancer with slave (as it sees a SELECT)
QGIS thinks it cannot write, which is wrong in this situation.

After advice from a pgpool2 developer I would now force all requests coming from QGIS to primary only (and allow other clients like dbeaver to use the load balancing feature.).

The way to do this on side of pgpool2 is to catch the application name:
app_name_redirect_preference_list = 'QGIS:primary'

I can further already see that QGIS sets a var in postgresql logs.


Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 94: "host all all 10.201.249.4/32 scram-sha-256
2022-06-30 09:54:40.056 CEST [822446] toni@spatial_db LOG:  statement: SET 
application_name='QGIS'


The problem here is, that this var is set _after_ the connection is established,
where I need to set it in the „startup packet“.

My question is, is there some way to tell QGIS to use a connection string like:
postgresql://10.201.249.2:5432/spatial_db*?application_name=QGIS*

Or by use of some environment variable?


Thanks a lot for any help,

Toni
