I admit I've sometimes been surprised that smart shutdown was waiting when I didn't expect it to. It would be good to give the shutdown more feedback. If it explicitly shows "Waiting for n sessions with active transactions to commit" or "Waiting for n sessions to disconnect" then the user would at least understand why it was waiting and what would be necessary to get it to continue. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
