Noah Misch 640768ceb6 Field conninfo strings throughout src/bin/scripts.
These programs nominally accepted conninfo strings, but they would
proceed to use the original dbname parameter as though it were an
unadorned database name.  This caused "reindexdb dbname=foo" to issue an
SQL command that always failed, and other programs printed a conninfo
string in error messages that purported to print a database name.  Fix
both problems by using PQdb() to retrieve actual database names.
Continue to print the full conninfo string when reporting a connection
failure.  It is informative there, and if the database name is the sole
problem, the server-side error message will include the name.  Beyond
those user-visible fixes, this allows a subsequent commit to synthesize
and use conninfo strings without that implementation detail leaking into
messages.  As a side effect, the "vacuuming database" message now
appears after, not before, the connection attempt.  Back-patch to 9.1
(all supported versions).

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
