Hi Attached patch adds an "%r" substitution for psql prompts to show recovery status. Specifically it displays an "&" (ampersand) if the server is in recovery, otherwise nothing, e.g.: postgres= SELECT foo; Why is this useful? Because I find myself messing about with replication clusters a lot, and it would be nice to have an at-a-glance confirmation whether I'm connected to a standby or not. Why an ampersand? Because it's not used for any other prompts, and it can be used as a mnemonic: "and" -> "st'and'by" (clutching at straws a bit there I admit, but best I could come up with). Note this substitution sends a "pg_is_in_recovery()" query to the server each time it's encountered; unless there's something I'm overlooking I think that's the only reliable way to determine current recovery status. A possible alternative would be only to check the status each time a new database connection is made, but that wouldn't catch the case where the server has been promoted. Will submit to next commitfest. Regards Ian Barwick -- Ian Barwick http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
