We create psql scripts that can be used at various times by various users. I have been unable to find how to absolutely set various options (timing, expanded, etc.) rather than toggle them.

The --no-psqlrc option provides a partial workaround - as long as the user remembers to include it and as long as they are only running the one script. But if they forget or if they are already running a session there is no telling what settings have been toggled by previously run scripts or the users themselves.

So...have I overlooked an interactive psql option that will let me reset all options to "factory-defaults" or a method of specifying an absolute setting to the various options?

If not, do psql users out there feel this is worth a feature request?

Cheers,
Steve
