Re: conditionally terminate psql script

Hi
is there a way to stop execution of a psql script if a select returns some rows (or no rows)
The idea is to add a safety check on data, specifically to select all new rows that would conflict
on a bulk insert, show them and stop
Look at \if command in psql (since v10):
select count(*) as total from pg_class where 1 = 1\gset
select :total = 0 as notfound\gset
\if :notfound
   \echo Nothing found.
   \q
\endif
\echo :total records found.
