"cluttered" is maybe the wrong description. I meant the output
will look overwhelming due to the repeated values :)
+1.
To summarize:
- Alvaro is not happy with \conninfo+ printing multiple tables and suggests
we continue with v35.
- Sami is ok with both approaches but thinks that \conninfo+ should also
print all parameters from PQparameterStatus in a dynamic way. Also, he
suggests to include "role" if we are showing is_superuser.
For that, we need two more patches:
1. Mark role as GUC_REPORT with necessary doc changes.
2. Add a new libpq function (perhaps PQparameterNames) to return the names
of parameters, so we can also display parameters added in the future,
along with doc updates.
- David wants category information included.
IMO, we should continue with v35 and add all parameters from PQparameterStatus,
as Sami suggested. The names themselves are informative enough.
Looking forward to your feedback.
