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. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12453.1516655001@sss.pgh.pa.us
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/.
