This is a neat idea, but there are some issues. - There's a new GUC. This is probably not compelling enough a feature for that. - The check, if I understand correctly, is only done on connect, even though it could change during a session. How about something that: - Allowed setting a query to be executed after each command. - Put the results of that query into a psql variable. This differs from \gset in that it would be executed silently at the end of each command. What say?
