The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/ecpg-sql-set-connection.html Description: In the documentation for Postgres 15, on page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/ecpg-sql-set-connection.html, it states that one can write: SET CONNECTION connection_name And under that, it talks about "connection_name" and DEFAULT, which is supposed to be used in order to use the "default connection". However, "SET CONNECTION DEFAULT" is treated by ECPG as a normal connection name (looking for a connection named "DEFAULT"), not as a special keyword meaning to go back to using the "default" connection. Is there something I'm missing there ? The documentation is kinda misleading, in its current form. Or is there a limitation with ECPG, which prevents the use of DEFAULT, while it would work with other tools ? (This is written in the same way for numerous Postgres versions, it's not limited to version 15) Regards, Sylvain FRANDAZ
