Hmmm...is it possible that psql's stderr is redirected? That's another way I can duplicate what you're seeing: $ psql test 2> /dev/null test=> SELECT misspelled_excol FROM extable; test=> $ psql test test=> SELECT misspelled_excol FROM extable; ERROR: column "misspelled_excol" does not exist test=> If psql's stderr isn't explicitly redirected then psql would inherit the shell's stderr, which might be redirected. What shell are you using? If it's a Bourne-like shell, what output do you get from the following? echo test1 echo test2 >&2 Does your system have lsof or some other utility that shows a process's file descriptors? If so, what does that utility show for a running psql that's experiencing the problem? Do you get output from non-error queries? If none of this reveals the problem, then it might be useful to see the output of "\set" and "show all" in psql. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
