Good. One looks forward to your fully-worked-out AI/ESP patch that gets this right every time. While you're at it, I suggest fixing these "obvious" mistakes: SELECT SELECT 'text'; SELECT 'text; SELECT INSERT 'text' INTO column; INSERT 'text' INTO 'column'; And so on. Every one of these is a boiled down example of a stupid think-o I have made more than once. This is what the command buffer is for. If you really want your input system to provide fairly complete syntax checking for you, however, I will point out that psql's \e command will happily drop you into the editor of your choice. If you want an editor that knows more about what you want than you do, I think you will find it is spelled "emacs".
