Tom Lane ee28cacf61 Extend the abilities of libpq's target_session_attrs parameter.
In addition to the existing options of "any" and "read-write", we
now support "read-only", "primary", "standby", and "prefer-standby".
"read-write" retains its previous meaning of "transactions are
read-write by default", and "read-only" inverts that.  The other
three modes test specifically for hot-standby status, which is not
quite the same thing.  (Setting default_transaction_read_only on
a primary server renders it read-only to this logic, but not a
standby.)

Furthermore, if talking to a v14 or later server, no extra network
round trip is needed to detect the session's status; the GUC_REPORT
variables delivered by the server are enough.  When talking to an
older server, a SHOW or SELECT query is issued to detect session
read-only-ness or server hot-standby state, as needed.

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/.
