is made, include it in the startup-packet options.  This makes it work more
like every other libpq connection option, in particular it now has the same
response to RESET ALL as the rest.  This also saves one network round trip
for new applications using application_name.  The cost is that if the server
is pre-8.5, it'll reject the startup packet altogether, forcing us to retry
the entire connection cycle.  But on balance we shouldn't be optimizing that
case in preference to the behavior with a new server, especially when doing
so creates visible behavioral oddities.  Per discussion.

=====================================
  
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:

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
