I resort to using both \conninfo *and* `select current_role`. I used \conninfo to tell me which server I'm on (since not on the default prompt, before I played with it today), which session_user I'm connected with (ddevienne or dd_login in my recent example), and finally `select current_role` which matters in my use-cases (session_user or dd_admin or dd_user). I'd like not to have to type those commands/queries all the time, and have them in the prompt at all time. I get that it's not for everyone, nor even necessary all the time, but I sincerely think it is definitely useful. I'd be glad to use Pavel's proposed %N. --DD ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread

Thanks for sharing Raphael. That's a 3rd notch Tom! :) So is it the proverbial "third time's a charm" and the community would revise its initial rejection? I keep making that point, but the fact this is entirely opt-in, mitigates the "expensive" argument IMHO. FWIW. Thank you for considering this RFC again, especially since there's a patch for it.
