Try setting client_min_messages=DEBUG1. At least on current sources that gives some additional, relevant output; I think that's probably there in 9.1.x as well. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Seems like a good enhancement to me, if someone can figure out how to do it cleanly. Unfortunately those debug messages may not be in a place where it's real easy for them to know whether they're being called from CLUSTER VERBOSE or not, so it might take a little thought to produce a clean patch for this. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Another thing that occured to me in this general area was whether it'd be useful to do something with ps_status and pg_stat_activity. Also, this isn't limited to CLUSTER; anything that rewrites the table and indexes would benefit. Meaning ALTER TABLE that does a full rewrite, and also VACUUM FULL. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Do I need to cogitate on the code, or is one of the hackers that knows it better interested?

Updating ps_status is expensive, seriously so on some platforms. We could likely get away with tracking progress in pg_stat_activity though. However, this just reminds me that tracking intrastatement progress in pg_stat_activity has been discussed before and not much has happened. Let's please not have a quick kluge that just addresses CLUSTER and not any of the other aspects of that problem. regards, tom lane

I forgot that it's expensive on ps_status (I think my favorite platform, FreeBSD, is one of those :(). I do think that pg_stat_activity should be updated, as well as pushing more of the DEBUG1 progress messages up to INFO, and adding some sort of timing / statistical info on the create index commands that are run. Is any of the -hackers community interested, or should I try(!) to look at the code? - -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 512-248-2683 E-Mail: ler@lerctr.org US Mail: 430 Valona Loop, Round Rock, TX 78681-3893 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPV8rRAAoJENC8dtAvA1zmt90IAL7M15RBl6k03Tq18ehUMdos SKSAT/dSPEaQJx55GIPNy+uE6miiNS8Vo493SJ007hsyob/fuxdhXMfWalrc/qdE BFsIBNiGJEsy0kyQxhXmXneQurgt1jbntGmCc/rSybd7aDq72fE81G6NaQGXqIOq FMl3MqQpQuOjL8cCfGgwpsV9paipmlcQTzc52aAcj1Yj15twFySx/P3N18oNX9NP 6JUEgEl6FLP0UQ31roxzbulLR0imoACAThaOOp1swxPREahjkltoU08wk/MeR6xv hR76is80/16I1hj6DLXwAl6C/Dmmt3ufrKTHKguXJU6RAJI11+05MbSiBIO5wCI= =rWW2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
