I would hope that Concurrent psql can be revived. There were some issues, but not really major ones. The main requirement is to be able to specify multiple sessions of activity from a single script. I would prefer it if we could do that via psql. If we start inventing new features in other tools we get situation similar to pgbench, which has some cute features, but they aren't in psql, which also has cute features, but different ones. Fragmentation wastes effort. I think Greg's comments are correct but I would say "also correct". There is no reason to have just one test framework. We need as many as we need. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
