Robert Haas 721f7bd3cb libpq: Add target_session_attrs parameter. 
Commit 274bb2b385 made it possible to
specify multiple IPs in a connection string, but that's not good
enough for the case where you have a read-write master and a bunch of
read-only standbys and want to connect to whichever server is the
master at the current time.  This commit allows that, by making it
possible to specify target_session_attrs=read-write as a connection
parameter.

There was extensive discussion of the best name for the connection
parameter and its values as well as the best way to distinguish master
and standbys.  For now, adopt the same solution as JDBC: if the user
wants a read-write connection, issue 'show transaction_read_only' and
rejection the connection if the result is 'on'.  In the future, we
could add additional values of this new target_session_attrs parameter
that issue different queries; or we might have some way of
distinguishing the server type without resorting to an SQL query; but
right now, we have this, and that's (hopefully) a good start.

Victor Wagner and Mithun Cy.  Design review by Álvaro Herrera, Catalin
Iacob, Takayuki Tsunakawa, and Craig Ringer; code review by me.  I
changed Mithun's patch to skip all remaining IPs for a host if we
reject a connection based on this new parameter, rewrote the
documentation, and did some other cosmetic cleanup.

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/.
