psql cannot \i a file which name contains a blank character. Why doesn't it take the rest of the command line as the name of the file?!? Why doesn't it use any of the standard command line parsing libraries which respect "quoting" and \e\s\c\a\p\i\n\g?!? psql \i even does autocomplete to the file n

I was just trying to compare constraints in two versions of a database and the obvious (to me) join from pg_constraint to pg_tables wasn't possible. Not a real problem, I just used pg_class, but is the lack of oid in pg_tables a design decision and if so why? -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
