I agree -- we would need to have a mode on which it is "not on any connection", to which we could switch on C-z. If all connections are busy, there's no way to create a new one otherwise. It makes sense if we continue with the shell analogy: the shell prompt is not any particular task. Either there is a task running in foreground (in which case we have no prompt, but we can press C-z to suspend the current task and get a prompt), or there isn't (in which case we have a prompt.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
