I think libedit doesn't support control-r either, not totally sure though. In any case there are some known bugs in libedit that Apple's not been terribly swift to fix. I'd suggest installing GNU readline and linking psql against that instead. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
[GENERAL] .psql_history file is messed up and control-r does not work
My .psql_history contains lines of the form. select\040sum(price)\040from\040products\040p\040join\040 My psql client is 9.1.2 on Mac OS and server is linux 9.0.5 Is the version mismatch messing up this .psql_history file? Also control-r to search the history isn't working at psql prompt from Mac although it does work if I log in to server where client and server are the same version. Thanks for any assistance in this issue. mr. wu -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
