Default libpq application name
Started by Bruce Momjianabout 16 years ago2 messageshackers
I just emailed Dave Page and it seems we don't set a default application
name in libpq. Should we do:
extern char *argv[];
and reference argv[0] in libpq to set a default application name?

No. This is not portable and it's not a good idea even if it were.
The issue was discussed extensively when the patch was committed,
and does not need to be revisited now.
