Thanks. Yes, I think it should be a different proposal. On closer inspection, mysql doesn't make a real effort to align prompts, the secondary prompt happens to coincide with the default primary prompt, but when it's non-default, the alignment is lost. Their secondary prompt does not seem to be configurable. By contrast PROMPT2 is fully configurable in psql. The issue of alignment is non-trivial if we wish to retain the nice-to-have property that if you copy-paste psql session in an editor, the prompting can generally be filtered out with a simple column-cut.
