pg_basebackup also seems to behave same as pg_receivexlog. psql also treats it in similar way. The behaviour of psql is as below: psql.exe -d="host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgres" psql: invalid connection option "" psql.exe -d "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgres" psql (9.5devel) WARNING: Console code page (437) differs from Windows code page (1252) 8-bit characters might not work correctly. See psql reference page "Notes for Windows users" for details. Type "help" for help. postgres=# > The document says that pg_receivexlog ignores database name, and this > option is called for consistency with other client applications. > But if we specify database name like other client tool '-d hoge' , > then we will definitely got error. What I understand from document is that it ignores database name when given in connection string. With Regards, Amit Kapila. EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
