If we're going to increase the number of options in .psqlrc that do not work with older psql versions, can I please have .psqlrc-MAJORVERSION or some such? Having 8.3's psql complain all the time because it doesn't understand "linestyle" is annoying. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
