Yesterday a client application broke immediately after we issued a
pg_ctl reload command. The only change we had made was to pg_hba.conf
to enable trusted connections from localhost.
My question is, how should the client application be affected by such a
reload?
My impression was that the client should be totally unaware of a reload,
but reality does not bear this out.
Any ideas/informed responses will be welcomed. I suspect that this has
uncovered a bug in our client but without knowing what the client
experience shuold be, it's hard to narrow down where the bug may lie.
Thanks.
