Re: BUG #5304: psql using conninfo fails in connecting to the server

Actually, now that I think about it, psql shouldn't be setting
application_name at all.  It should be setting
fallback_application_name, and I think that should be after the dbname
so that it's not overridable.  The way it's being done now destroys the
usefulness of the PGAPPNAME environment variable.
