Hi,

I was setting up pgpool on my system, and I start getting following error in
database server log.
2011-04-22 14:32:01 IST FATAL:  database "postgres" does not exist

So I start looking into the pgpool codebase. where I found that there
are at-least three functions that are using "postgres" as hardcoded database
name

1- check_postmaster_started
2- health_check
3- make_persistent_db_connection

In the first two functions, if postgres is not found, "template1" is used,
 But for #3 "postgres" is the only option. Do you think there is any harm in
using "template1" instead of "postgres"?


Regards,
