As an event trigger is tied to a particular database, and a GUC is
global to the cluster, as long as there is one database in the cluster
for which an event trigger for the "client_connection" event is NOT
defined (say the default "postgres" maintenance database), then the
superuser can always connect to that database, issue "ALTER SYSTEM SET
disable_client_connection_trigger TO true" and reload the
configuration. I tested this with pgAdmin4 and it worked fine for me,
to allow login to a database for which login was previously prevented
due to a badly-defined logon trigger.
Pavel, is this an acceptable solution or do you still see problems
with this approach?
