Maybe we can introduce more generic GUC for all event triggers like disable_event_triggers? This GUC can be checked only by the database owner or super user. It can be an alternative ALTER TABLE DISABLE TRIGGER ALL. It can be protection against necessity to restart to single mode to repair the event trigger. I think so more generic solution is better than special disable_client_connection_trigger GUC. > > 2. I have no objection against client_connection. It is probably better for the mentioned purpose - possibility to block connection to database. Can be interesting, and I am not sure how much work it is to introduce the second event - session_start. This event should be started after connecting - so the exception there doesn't block connect, and should be started also after the new statement "DISCARD SESSION", that will be started automatically after DISCARD ALL. This feature should not be implemented in first step, but it can be a plan for support pooled connections >
I've created a separate patch to address question (1), rather than include it in the main patch, which I've adjusted accordingly. I'll leave question (2) until another time, as you suggest. See the attached patches.
I see two possible questions?
1. when you introduce this event, then the new hook is useless ?
2. what is a performance impact for users that want not to use this feature. What is a overhead of EventTriggerOnConnect and is possible to skip this step if database has not any event trigger
