Subject: [HACKERS] Progress bar updates
For a first cut this "data structure" could just be a float
between 0 and 1.
Or perhaps it should be two integers, a "current" and an
"estimated final".
That would let the client do more intelligent things when the
estimates change
for the length of the whole job.
Hi Greg,
I would vote for the latter so that we could give more meaningful
feedback - for example, when vacuuming you might give a scale of 0 to
<num tables>. In cases such as COPY where you mightn't have any idea of
an upper bound, then a simple heartbeat could be supplied so at least
the client could count rows (or 100's of rows) processed or whatever.
It would certainly allow us to present a nicer user experience in
pgAdmin :-)
Regards, Dave.
