I agree that it's valid improvement to add prefer-read to target_session_attr, as a means to "get a read-only
session."

Is it already in progress in some thread, or are you trying to start from scratch? (I may have done it, but I don't
rememberit well...)

I'm glad to hear that. Sure. I'd like to review your patch, and possibly add/modify code if necessary. Are you going
toadd target_server_type={primary | standby | prefer_standby} as well as add prefer-read to target_session_attr?
