I know that one can store multiple psql commands and SQL statements in
a separate "script" file, and then "source" the script file, e.g. with
the \i command.

My question is, can I define variables in such a script file?  E.g. can
I do something like the following unix-shell-like script?

You can use psql variables

Be careful with quoting issues though.
