I proposed a patch to add %x to PROMPT1 and PROMPT2 by default in psql.
The effect of this is:
- nothing at all when not in a transaction,
Too bad it doesn't add a space, so that we still have the same space used byt the prompt whatever the status of the transaction. That's probably the only thing that bugs me with %x.
- adding a '*' when in a transaction or a '!' when in an aborted transaction.
Before making a change to a long-time default, a poll in this group was requested.
Please answer +1 if you want or don't mind seeing transaction status by default in psql or -1 if you would prefer to keep the current default.
Thanks!
+1 from me.
+1 from me as well. Actually, thanks to you, I added it to my .psqlrc file in the meantime. But it would be very interesting when I work on a customer's server.
