From 0d6903ecd941f3397c189defc437c957fd8da8ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:29:43 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: remove misleading claim in documentation of PQreset(). This text claimed that the reconnection would occur "to the same server", but there is no such guarantee in the code, nor would insisting on that be an improvement. Back-patch to v10 where multi-host connection strings were added.
