Our past overuse aside, it's just easy to ignore chatter. It often happens to me that I realize 10 minutes after I did something that I didn't look carefully enough at the output ... which is usually followed by an attempt to scroll back through my terminal buffer to find it. But after a few thousand lines of subsequent output that's hard. So I like the idea of making the information available on-demand, rather than only at creation time. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
