Drake Actually in thinking about this, this is what the patch does now: If version matches: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/pgsql/src/bin/psql$ ./psql -U jd -h localhost -p 9000 postgres Type: help for help. postgres=# If version doesn't match: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/pgsql/src/bin/psql$ ./psql -U jd -h localhost postgres WARNING: Server 8.2, psql is version 8.4. Some psql features may not work. Type: help for help. postgres=> I understand Alvaro's point on the translation so no sweat, I will fix that. What if I add the version to the help? With this patch if you type help you get: postgres=> help You are using psql, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL. For SQL help type \h or \help . For help using psql type \? . To quit psql type \q . To view the copyright type \copyright . postgres=> I could change that to: You are using psql 8.2.7, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL. For SQL help type \h or \help . For help using psql type \? . To quit psql type \q . To view the copyright type \copyright . Does that make sense? Sincerely, Joshua D.
