My questions to the group are: - Is my approach reasonable? - What interface should I include in libpq? On the second question, obviously the user can call SET to set a value, as I've done for now in psql, however in other DBMSs, it may be set in the connection string. My feeling would be to do that, and possibly add PQsetApplicationName(PGconn *conn, char *name) and char *PQapplicationName(PGconn *conn);. What do others think?
Doing it with a GUC will not be nearly so useful as having it in the wire protocol, IMNSHO. Just one example: it wouldn't be present in connection records, because it wouldn't be set yet.
