Currently our prompt is fairly verbose:

Welcome to psql 8.1.10, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms      \h for help with SQL commands      \? for help with psql commands      \g
orterminate with semicolon to execute query      \q to quit 


We could just do:

psql 8.1.10 - postgresql server version 8.1.10

Type: \h for SQL help, \? for psql help, \q to quit

postgres=#
