That's definitely part of it. I'm assuming the above is an abridged
example and the OP is doing something dynamic with the query. The
real trouble is Bash likes to expand the asterisk into a list of every
file in the current directory when you try to push the command through
a variable. So it's just a matter of finding a way to escape the *
Oh, good grief Charlie Brown:
backslash it:
\*
so:
echo select \* from whatsit | psql test
character to keep Bash from globbing, which unfortunately right now is
escaping me (no pun intended.)
