I don't recall if this has come up before.
I'm sometimes mildly annoyed when I get on a new system and find the
username missing in my psql prompt. Or if a customer shows me a screen
and I have to ask "which user is this". If we're dealing with several
roles it can get confusing. My usual .psqlrc has
\set PROMPT1 '%n(at)%~%R%x%# '
So my suggestion is that we prepend '%n@' to the default psql PROMPT1
(and maybe PROMPT2).
I realize it's not exactly earth-shattering, but I think it's a bit more
user-friendly.
(Would be a good beginner project, the code change would be tiny but
there are lots of docs / examples that we might want to change if we did
it.)
cheers
