Re: Building Postgresql under Windows question

In this function:
static bool
test_postmaster_connection(bool do_checkpoint)

This code will never succeed:
snprintf(connstr, sizeof(connstr),
"dbname=postgres port=%s connect_timeout=5",
portstr);

for (i = 0; i < wait_seconds; i++)
{
if ((conn = PQconnectdb(connstr)) != NULL &&
(PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_OK ||
PQconnectionNeedsPassword(conn)))
{
PQfinish(conn);
success = true;
break;
}

Because pg_hba.conf has this:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust

to allow connections from the local machine.

(A password is not needed to connect, so the code always fails).
