Here is a patch with few changes: a) Removed the version check based
on discussion from [1] b) updated the documentation.
I have tested various scenarios with the attached patch, the dbname
that is written in postgresql.auto.conf for each of the cases with
pg_basebackup is given below:
1) ./pg_basebackup -U vignesh -R
-> primary_conninfo = "dbname=vignesh" (In this case primary_conninfo
will have dbname as username specified)
2) ./pg_basebackup -D data -R
-> primary_conninfo = "dbname=vignesh" (In this case primary_conninfo
will have the dbname as username (which is the same as the OS user
while setting defaults))
3) ./pg_basebackup -d "user=vignesh" -D data -R
-> primary_conninfo = "dbname=replication" (In this case
primary_conninfo will have dbname as replication which is the default
value from GetConnection as connection string is specified)
4) ./pg_basebackup -d "user=vignesh dbname=postgres" -D data -R
-> primary_conninfo = "dbname=postgres" (In this case primary_conninfo
will have the dbname as the dbname specified)
5) ./pg_basebackup -d "" -D data -R
-> primary_conninfo = "dbname=replication" (In this case
primary_conninfo will have dbname as replication which is the default
value from GetConnection as connection string is specified)
I have mentioned the reasons as to why dbname is being set to
replication or username in each of the cases. How about replacing
these values in postgresql.auto.conf manually.
