Are you doing this in PostgreSQL 7.3 and Windows XP? Can you provide us with a little more useful information like current PostgreSQL version and O/S?
Otherwise we have absolutely no idea what the problem might be.On Tue, Aug 2, 2016 at 11:18 AM, Lmhelp1 <lmhelp1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello,
I am using "psql" in "cmd.exe" in Windows (8.1).
Below is the command I use to connect to a database with "psql":
cmd.exe> psql -p <tcp_port> -U <username> <database_name>
My problem is the following.
Suppose I enter one command:
<database_name># SELECT * FROM <a_table_1>;
and then another one:
<database_name># SELECT * FROM <a_table_2>;
The commands history "is not working": meaning I cannot retrieve these last two commands I entered by hitting the top arrow key.
Instead, I have to type them again.
To try to solve the problem, I entered the command:
<database_name># \set HISTSIZE 100
but it didn't change anything.
Yesterday, I don't remember what I did, but I could access the commands history using Powershell, maybe the command "\set HISTSIZE 100" and maybe a "psqlrc" file.
But whatever I've been trying to do since, I can't make it work again.
Can you please advise me what to do to make this work?
Best regards.
