round-robin and random make sense. I am wondering how round-robin would work with -C, though? Would you just reuse the same connection string as the one chosen at the starting point. > I was thinking of providing a allowing a list of conninfo strings with > repeated options, eg --conninfo "foo" --conninfo "bla"… That was my first thought when reading the subject of this thread: create a list of connection strings and pass one of them to doConnect() to grab the properties looked for. That's a bit confusing though as pgbench does not support directly connection strings, and we should be careful to keep fallback_application_name intact. > Your approach using PGSERVICEFILE also make sense! I am not sure that's actually needed here, as it is possible to pass down a service name within a connection string. I think that you'd better leave libpq do all the work related to a service file, if specified. pgbench does not need to know any of that. -- Michael
