The EDITOR variable seems to have a fairly standard meaning on Unix systems. I've been using that EDITOR value for years without problems, only when I use psql's \e once in a while it breaks. I don't think we should deviate from what seems to be a standard practice. I wonder whether a similar convention exists on Windows. I could certainly live with quoting only on Windows if that is what the convention is there. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
