I don't know, but… > *starts reading source code* :-) Look at what fe-protocol3.c:build_startup_packet() does with its options argument (and see fe-connect.c:EnvironmentOptions to see what is passed to it). Basically, libpq sets some connection parameters to values taken from the environment (e.g. client_encoding from PGCLIENTENCODING). What the documentation you quoted is saying is that the wire protocol doesn't know or care where the values came from. -- ams -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
