Hm, few other people thought that.
I don't wanna be irritating but here every postgres user I found really can't understand how the original patch was not accepted, people against it did not show good reasons.

That seems like sort of an independent problem, though. I wonder whether it's possible to find out from libreadline that the input text came from a paste rather than being typed. > I quite like the idea of blanking the database name in PROMPT2 as > suggested by Daniel in [3], I would be happy to work on that patch if > others agree.
I think that the part of that about inserting a line number is important. What about combining the two ideas: in PROMPT2, the database name is *replaced* by a line number, while (trying to) keep the width the same?
If you guys can review the supposed consensus about this patch, I can spend some time and implement this PROMPT2 idea on different patch submission.
