acchow is disagreeing with your database query likeness. Your comment was effectively saying that it's just waiting until it's ready. And this is clearly something that can be disagreed with.
Based on the way this article is worded, it seems like there is no way to check when TRSMRCY is over. Imagine if you were waiting for a database query and if the database wasn't done thinking yet, simply accessing the socket would make the query abort.
I don't know who you think you're disagreeing with, but it clearly isn't me.
