Interesting point. I think what you're saying boils down to there being two init files, one that is read once at program start (sets up the general environment) and another one that's executed each time a connection is established. I wonder where does this leave Greg Stark's concurrent psql sessions feature. Now, for the current case I think we should definitely have a specifier for the prompt. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
