Hi, It appears as though psql ignored the settings in my ~/.inputrc file: ----------------- [pkovacs@pokkermann bin]$ cat ~/.inputrc set editing-mode vi set disable-completion on ----------------- psql persists in emacs mode and completion is not disabled either. ----------------- [pkovacs@pokkermann bin]$ psql --version psql (PostgreSQL) 8.3.3 contains support for command-line editing ----------------- Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks Peter
