Re: [GENERAL] How to capture an interactive psql session in a log file?
That does the trick, awesome! I do think it would be great if psql had a stderr capture in addition to stdout.

While the recommendations to use script are perfect for the use case of capturing everything, including input, I think it's worth mentioning that there was some discussion not too long ago to give psql better IO redirection capabilities. The suggestion I like was something along the lines of pagila# \o stdout.txt 2 stderr.txt as the meaning of that should be immediately obvious to most *nix users and would also allow pagila# \o allout.txt 2 and this would default to stdout for backwards compatibility (and simplicity) pagila# \o stdout.txt Erik Jones, Database Administrator Engine Yard Support, Scalability, Reliability 866.518.9273 x 260 Location: US/Pacific IRC: mage2k -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
[GENERAL] How to capture an interactive psql session in a log file?
What I'm trying to do doesn't seem like it should be that difficult or unusual, but I can't seem to find the right combination of commands to make it happen. I want to have a log file that captures everything from an interactive psql session. Running 8.3.7 with bash shell on Linux. If I use \o file or \o |tee file, it doesn't capture my entered commands, or any error text. I can use some fancy bash to capture stderr in the file too, and then error text goes there, but no matter what, neither the commands I enter nor the psql prompt will be captured in the log file. This is even when using -a, or \set ECHO all. It's as if my entered commands neither go to stdout or stderr. Has anyone solved this issue before?
