Use a psqlrc file and add \pset pager off: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/app-psql.html " Files Unless it is passed an -X or -c option, psql attempts to read and execute commands from the system-wide psqlrc file and the user's ~/.psqlrc file before starting up. (On Windows, the user's startup file is named %APPDATA%\postgresql\psqlrc.conf.) See PREFIX/share/psqlrc.sample for information on setting up the system-wide file. It could be used to set up the client or the server to taste (using the \set and SET commands). Both the system-wide psqlrc file and the user's ~/.psqlrc file can be made version-specific by appending a dash and the PostgreSQL release number, for example ~/.psqlrc-9.0.6. A matching version-specific file will be read in preference to a non-version-specific file. The command-line history is stored in the file ~/.psql_history, or %APPDATA%\postgresql\psql_history on Windows.
