Hi All,
I am facing issue while executing psqlrc alias commands via. "psql -c" option.
Please find below details:
-bash-4.2$ cat .psqlrc
\set testing 'select * from test;'
postgres=# select version();
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 9.6.2 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16), 64-bit
(1 row)
postgres=# :testing
id
----
1
However, it is not working with the command line.
-bash-4.2$ /opt/PostgreSQL/9.6/bin/psql -c ":testing"
ERROR: syntax error at or near ":" at character 1
STATEMENT: :testing
ERROR: syntax error at or near ":"
LINE 1: :testing
As per the document from PG-9.6 it is possible.
Apologies, If I am getting wrong.
