Hm. It seems to me that PGPASSFILE still needs to be treated as an exception because it is set to $HOME/.pgpass without any value set in PQconninfoOption->compiled and it depends on the environment. Similar rules apply to fallback_application_name, dbname and replication as well, so they would need to be kept as checked on an individual basis. Now it is true that pg_basebackup -R enforces the value set for a parameter in the created string if its environment variable is set. Bypassing those values would potentially break applications that rely on the existing behavior. In short, I'd like to think that we should just filter out those two parameters by name and call it a day. Or introduce an idea of value set for the environment by adding some kind of tracking flag in PQconninfoOption? Though I am not sure that it is worth complicating libpq to just generate recovery.conf in pg_basebackup. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
