Обсуждение: "history" key in pgsql
Hi all,
I have some difficulties on typing the querys in the pgsql console environment. once I type something wrong I should delete the whole line and type in again. I would like to know is there any tools that could make it more like the "bash" shell environment. Using the arrow key there in the pgsql.
Thanks,
Alex

Using the arrow > key there in the pgsql. pgsql has readline support (eaxctly the same library as bash). Your PostgreSQL was probably compiled without this option. You compiled it yourself? If so, compile again with --enable-readline (you will need the readline library and its development environment). (The Debian package of PostgreSQL has readline support out-of-the-box. One more reason to thanks Oliver.)
