This breaks out the background and interactive psql functionality into a
new class, PostgreSQL::Test::BackgroundPsql. Sessions are still initiated
via PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster, but once started they can be manipulated by
the new helper functions which intend to make querying easier. A sample
session for a command which can be expected to finish at a later time can
be seen below.
my $session = $node->background_psql('postgres');
$bsession->query_until(qr/start/, q(
\echo start
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx ON t(a);
));
$bsession->quit;
Patch by Andres Freund with some additional hacking by me.
