IMO in the spirit of keeping things simple, it's enough to tell people to ^C their way out (and why); anything more complicated than that, such as closing any open quotes, is not catering for the newbie community that this feature is supposed to help. As Robert said, if you're trying to exit the terminal, you don't care too much about any string literals you have open. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
