Description:

I want to move the .psql_history file that resides in $home

In mysql you can do
export MSQL_HISTDFILE=/newfolder/mysq_history,
and the history file is created and remains in the exported string

Id tried that with PYSQL_HISTFILE &  PSQL_HISTFILE and it doesnt work

Is there a way to move the history file to a different folder
