> Save the fact that the current query is extended, until query end? Yech. To name just a couple of problems, what if you decide after typing another line or two that you didn't want \x after all? Action-at-a-distance commands suck. You'd also find that this didn't play very nicely with history recall, since the history stuff assumes that a line starting with a backslash command is separate from those around it. If we want this at all, we should do it the way first proposed (\G). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
