Only connections that are actually using the feature. It doesn't bother me that much --- before 7.4 we had *multiple* round trips involved in a connection start, and anyway backend startup is a pretty dang heavyweight operation. If you are concerned about that you should certainly not be advocating multiple connection tries instead. That's a lot of round trips too, plus you are paying repeated fork and backend-startup overhead. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
