How about using an API similar to PQconninfo, where we return an array of connection options used? Say, PQeffectiveConninfo(). This seems to me to reduce ugliness in the API, and be more generally useful. walrecvr could display as an array or just flatten to a string -- not sure what's the better option there. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
