Re: On login trigger: take three - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

no problem

I had to fix doc

I am thinking again about enable_client_connection_trigger, and although it can look useless (because error is ignored for superuser), it can be useful for some debugging and administration purposes. Probably we don't want to start the client_connection trigger from backup tools, maybe from some monitoring tools. Maybe the possibility to set this GUC can be dedicated to some special role (like pg_signal_backend).

There should be note, so only superuser can change this value

There is should be tab-complete support
