Re: Progress indication prototype

<p>(Sorry for top posting and for any typos -- typing on my phone)<p>In my earlier patch to do progress indicators for
arbitrarySQL queries I had envisioned a setup similar to how we handle query cancellation. Psql could support a key
likeSIGINFO which would make it request an update. Clients like pgadmin would either do that periodically or set some
gucor protocol option to request periodic updates in advance.<p>greg<p><blockquote type="cite">On 17 Aug 2010 19:07,
