Just to contribute a tiny amount of data: I also get this request from users on a semi-regular basis. It's definitely below the pains of pg_dump/restore or fork-and-reuse-of-connections of libpq in the space of caveats that come to mind, but it's worth noting that regular people do notice this is a gap (disconnected session support) reasonably frequently. However, the workaround is fairly clear and network connections are pretty reliable, and that blunts its severity. it's also useful for other use cases besides CREATE INDEX, like incremental data rewrites. I think there's some indirect overlap here with the daemon facility under discussion that is active in another thread. -- fdr -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
