I don't think so. 28000 is ERRCODE_INVALID_AUTHORIZATION_SPECIFICATION, which is a not-unlikely case here since often a caller wouldn't have bothered to provide a valid userid. However, if the server returned that, then it must be up; otherwise it could not have looked into pg_authid to find out that the supplied userid wasn't valid. IOW, the point of the ping functionality is to test whether the server is up, not whether you have valid login credentials. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
