I'm kind of losing you here. You want parallel execution *and* a
predefined order of execution? In my (limited) book, those contradict each
other a little bit. If it helps you can also do this:
\! psql -f 'second-script' >& output &
and the thus invoked script will happily continue executing even after you
quit the first psql.
I guess you could also do some simple synchronization things, like have
the second psql wait on a file to spring into existence:
/* second-script */
\! while [ ! -f /tmp/lock.file ]; do ;; done
\! rm /tmp/lock.file
Kind of like a simple semaphore. Isn't that what you are getting at?
In the overall view of things it almost seems like these kind of tests
need a human eye supervising them, because how do really determine "query
A waits for query B to finish" otherwise?
