Subject: pgsql: doc: Add note about "Client User" and "Superuser" fields in \con
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2025 01:40:24 +0000
Message-ID: <E1uQFse-001YLE-01@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
doc: Add note about "Client User" and "Superuser" fields in \conninfo output.
In the \conninfo psql command, the "Client User" column shows the user who
established the connection, while the "Superuser" column reflects whether
the current user in the current execution context is a superuser. This means
the users referred to in these columns can differ, for example, if the current
user was changed with the SET ROLE command.
This commit adds a note to the \conninfo documentation to clarify
this behavior and avoid potential confusion.
