Yeah, as a user I can't see ever having the intention for psql to quit when I Ctrl-C a running command. It's not something I think we should propagate.
Agreed, that psql shouldn't do that in *interactive use*. I expect that's what you're talking about. This patchset does not change that at all. Peter was talking about the behaviour of Ctrl+C in *script mode* (e.g. by using -f to execute a sql file). There Ctrl+C should imo always kill the psql process that's running the script. That wasn't happening when it was waiting for user input. I agree with Peter that that's a bug
