fallback_application_name
A libpq connection parameter providing a default application name
fallback_application_name is a libpq connection parameter providing an application name to use if application_name is not set.
fallback_application_name was added in PostgreSQL 9.0.
Usage
In general, fallback_application_name is an entirely discrectionary parameter which can be used as the client application sees fit.
In PostgreSQL 12 and later, if cluster_name is set, fallback_application_name will be set to that value when making a replication connection to the upstream node.
