The whole reason people here are reluctant to add "quit" in the first place is that it could become a slippery slope where people now want every popular MySQL/Oracle command cloned, just so they can avoid reading docs and never understand the design/power/elegance of Postgres.
For example, while I think "quit" is a good idea, it'd be a shame if it caused people to never find out about \ commands. > I'll agree that exiting the program is a special case that merits consideration Yes, I think we can find the right balance here. We don't need to suddenly start implementing SHOW TABLES, as attractive as that is to people who know MySQL.
