Async commands (like drop index) - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hello,

It seems that it may be useful to allow something like:

DROP INDEX NOWAIT.

The idea being, that the terminal will come back, the index will be 
dropped in the background. If it doesn't drop, it rollback like normal 
and logs.

I bring this up now, as an idea. We can argue about it later... :)
