I'm writing a small test harness. I have two threads. One that starts the postmaster and another that does all the testing and finally stops the postmaster with a pg_ctl stop. At present, the second thread starts with a sleep sufficient to ensure that the postmaster is running. Is there a proper way to test when the postmaster is ready to receive commands?
I've always assumed once I can connect, then I can send queries. There's certainly a "postmaster still starting up" error message I've seen, which would support that view.
