I like this idea. What do you think about using an implicit receive-symbol, '$0-psql.1001', '$0-psql.1002' etc?
No, because if you don't have an explicit receive-symbol, then you can't share database connections and logins in the way that you choose, unless you force all sql objects to be connected directly to a database connection object.
Would it be possible for psql to automatically discover the psql.conn's receive symbol by using pd_findbyclass(), and then reading a variable in the object struct?
What I'm saying is the other way around. You start with a user-specified symbol and you use it to find the database connection object. The query object doesn't know the database object until it looks up the symbol. I'm really telling you to do it like [tabread]; what you are thinking about now, is not like [tabread].
