I believe there's a bug in this patch, namely that the warnings when
there's a server-client mismatch only appear at startup time. This is
a pretty clear POLA violation, IMHO.
On my laptop, I have two pg instances running: 8.3.0 on port 5432, CVS
TIP on 2225.
Here's what I get if I invoke psql from the command line:
$ psql -p 5432 postgres
Welcome to psql 8.4devel (server 8.3.0), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
WARNING: You are connected to a server with major version 8.3,
but your psql client is major version 8.4. Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.
Here's what I get if I use \c, having connected to CVS TIP first:
davidfetter@postgres=# \c - - - 5432
You are now connected to database "postgres" at port "5432".
I think that the warning should be consistently there on connect
instead of just at program start.
Not coincidentally, moving all the checks into one spot, i.e. making
startup.c and command.c call and test the same things to connect to a
database, advances my Evil Plan™ to make more interesting things
happen when switching versions :)
Cheers,
David.
