I think I agree. I don't think this option is really hurting anything, so I'm not quite sure why we would want to abruptly get rid of it. I also think your other question is a good one. It seems like the fact that we need to reconnect -- rather than just prompting for the password and then sending it when we get it -- is an artifact of how libpq is designed rather than an intrinsic limitation of the protocol. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
