Hi all,
in my production environment I have Postgresql 8.2 + PgPool. The port number I specify in PgPool configuration is not a real portnumber (e.g. 123456). I can define a "dblink" as :
dblink('dbname=XXXX host=/var/run port=123456 user=XXXX password=XXXX'::text, 'select ... '::text) t1( ... );
or start "psql" as:
psql -U XXXX -h /var/run -p 123456 XXXX
without problems. In my development environment I upgraded to 9.1 version and the result is:
invalid port number: "123456"
in both cases. Does Postgresql 9.1 check the "port number" value although I'm connecting through a "Unix domain socket"? Is it a bug or an intended behavior?
I noticed that it accepts values up to 65535.
Thanks in advance
Alberto
