explicit control of whether to re-use connection parameters from a
previous connection. (Without this, the choice is based on whether
the database name looks like a conninfo string, as before.) This

such names on the server side, but that step has not been taken yet.

containing special characters could have been used to execute

CLASS="LITERAL"
>IS NULL</TT

> applied to nested composite values (Andrew Gierth, Tom Lane)
</P

TRUE for a row of all null values (thus <TT

(thus <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ROW(NULL, ROW(NULL,NULL)) IS NULL</TT

The core executor got this right, but certain planner optimizations
treated the test as recursive (thus producing TRUE in both cases),
and <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>contrib/postgres_fdw</TT
> could produce remote queries
that misbehaved similarly.
