Some people have indicated that they don't like how psql currently handles Control-C if no query is in progress. I consider the behaviour of the shells desirable but, quite frankly, I don't know how to do it. For some reason a readline'd session always wants me to press one more key after Control-C before getting back to a clean prompt. A much bigger problem is that if I don't use/have readline then I don't see a way to preempt the fgets() call. So unless someone has a hint or wants to look at it, I could offer ignoring the signal altogether in interactive mode, and perhaps make it stop scripts in the other case. (Leaving the query cancelling as is, of course.) Actually, shouldn't a Ctrl-C in a script cancel the query *and* stop the script at all times? -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 peter_e@gmx.net 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden
