Not the libpq docs, no. I was expecting something to though, having been told in the intro to the low level protocol details that: "Higher level features built on this protocol (for example, how libpq passes certain environment variables when the connection is established) are covered elsewhere." Note that it says *how* libpq passes those variables which implies the mechanism of passing them to the server. Anyway, I can figure out what I need from the existing code - I just found that sentence misleading and think it should probably be removed. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
