- hba-casecmp.patch (application/octet-stream) patch
In miracee's review of Peter's patch for new -A options in initdb (in commitfest app only), it is noted that pg_hba.conf keyword parsing is done in a case sensitive manner. So if you write "Trust" rather than "trust", it's not recognized. This seemed pretty nonsensical to me, and it's not documented, so I came up with the trivial attached patch. Comparisons to user and database names and the like are unchanged and thus require matching case. Thoughts? -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@alvh.no-ip.org>
