Joe Conway e3f36838e5 Introduce two new libpq connection functions, PQconnectdbParams and
PQconnectStartParams. These are analogous to PQconnectdb and PQconnectStart
respectively. They differ from the legacy functions in that they accept
two NULL-terminated arrays, keywords and values, rather than conninfo
strings. This avoids the need to build the conninfo string in cases
where it might be inconvenient to do so. Includes documentation.

Also modify psql to utilize PQconnectdbParams rather than PQsetdbLogin.
This allows the new config parameter application_name to be set, which
in turn is displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in CSV
log entries. This will also ensure both new functions get regularly
exercised.

Patch by Guillaume Lelarge with review and minor adjustments by
Joe Conway.

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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/.
