Subject: psql in a bash function
Hi,
Because I need to log into many servers, I created functions as
keyboard shortcuts (not aliases, since I will want to embed these
shortcuts in other functions).
psqlxyz ()
{
echo "P1=$1";
echo "P2=$2";
psql -U postgres -h XYZ $@
}
This is the (simple, test) command that I want to run, which
works when run explicitly using psql, but not my function. Any
ideas why the function isn't properly passing the "-c" and
'"select ..."' to psql?
$ psql -U postgres -h XYZ -c "select oid, datname from
pg_database;"
oid | datname
---------+------------------------
1 | template1
11563 | template0
11564 | postgres
16404 | test1
3039800 | ABCD
319011 | EFGH
649861 | IJKL
(7 rows)
$ psqldba -c '"select
oid, datname from pg_database;"'
P1=-c
P2="select oid, datname from
pg_database;"
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "datname"
ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "from" ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument
"pg_database;"" ignored
psql: FATAL: database "oid," does not exist
Thanks
