PGDATA

Just out of curiosity is there a reason PGDATA is not listed with the
other environment variables here?:

Yes, because PGDATA is not a client concern and thus is not something that
libpq cares about.

Clients only care about the public interface the server offers - stuff that
is socket related or that aids in identifying itself.

PGDATA is not an environment variables that can be used for
connections with libpq, see for example fe-connect.c.

I see. Still it would be nice to have all the environment variables in
one place.

Are there any more then those listed on the libpq page and PGDATA?

The server doesn't react to libpq's environment variables at all,
so it wouldn't be particularly sensible to list them together.

The ones it does react to are all, I think, listed on the "postgres"
reference page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-postgres.html
