So why are you avoiding "SELECT * FROM t1;" ?
I was affeared that if I brought my total ignorance to light I would be band
from the list but here goes.
I work in UNIX/Linux environments.
It's my habit to record my scripts.
A simple example:
#!/bin/bash
CMD="psql -d test \"select * from t1\""
echo $CMD >> my_log
eval $CMD |
while read x; do
do_something_with_x
done
In this example * expands to all files in the current working directory.
I was attempting to get around this by enumerating the table attributes.
Oh! Why didn't you just say that in the first place. You just need quotes.
Try this:
psql -c 'select * from t1' test
or
psql -c "select * from t1" test
or
echo "select * from t1" | psql test
