What do you think?
Oh, this is an egg of Columbus solution, I like it. It seems to work as intended on a quick test. Please add some commentary to run_reindex_command. Maybe another, possibly better way to do this would be to use libpq pipeline mode, sending all the commands for a table in one pipeline instead of a single command. The advantage of this would be that server-side log entries for each command would be separate, and they wouldn't appear clumped together in pg_stat_activity and so on. However, this would require more invasive changes, so it might be better to leave that for a future project -- it's certainly a harder sell for such a change to be backpatched. So I'm +1 on your current patch for 17 and master. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "Puedes vivir sólo una vez, pero si lo haces bien, una vez es suficiente"
