Tom Lane 160a4f62ee In pg_dump, force reconnection after issuing ALTER DATABASE SET command(s).
The folly of not doing this was exposed by the buildfarm: in some cases,
the GUC settings applied through ALTER DATABASE SET may be essential to
interpreting the reloaded data correctly.  Another argument why we can't
really get away with the scheme proposed in commit b3f840120 is that it
cannot work for parallel restore: even if the parent process manages to
hang onto the previous GUC state, worker processes would see the state
post-ALTER-DATABASE.  (Perhaps we could have dodged that bullet by
delaying DATABASE PROPERTIES restoration to the end of the run, but
that does nothing for the data semantics problem.)

This leaves us with no solution for the default_transaction_read_only issue
that commit 4bd371f6f intended to work around, other than "you gotta remove
such settings before dumping/upgrading".  However, in view of the fact that
parallel restore broke that hack years ago and no one has noticed, it's
fair to question how many people care.  I'm unexcited about adding a large
dollop of new complexity to handle that corner case.

This would be a one-liner fix, except it turns out that ReconnectToServer
tries to optimize away "redundant" reconnections.  While that may have been
valuable when coded, a quick survey of current callers shows that there are
no cases where that's actually useful, so just remove that check.  While at
it, remove the function's useless return value.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
