Feature request for setting the role with the URL connection string

От

Hello!

I think it would be a nice feature, to be able to set the role of
database user with the URL of the connection string, as PostgreSQL 8.1
has the concept of roles now.

The jdbc-driver of Firebird has the connection parameter 'sql_role_name'
for this feature.

This would allow without code changes of the application to exchange
a Firebird-database with a PostgreSQL-database.

Just an idea.

(Viewing on the source code, I did not find any starting point to do
it myself.)

Regards,
Roland.

Probably do it in the AbstractJdbc2Connection constructor -- run an
appropriate query after the underlying connection is established.

This almost belongs in the application, though.. isn't the role syntax
standardized?

Setting the role is a problem, if you must use an abstraction layer for accesses
to the database that you are not allowed or able to change.

The abstraction layer handles all database specific features.

Setting the role with the URL would mimic the behaviour of DB2 to be able to
set the 'search_path' to the database tables automatically with the connection parameter
'currentSchema'.

Regards,
Roland.
