I personally find that, after \l (list databases), connecting to a different one with \c is pretty useful. \? : to list help subjects \? options \? variables \h \watch [SEC] : is helpful, for example for keeping an eye on connections via pg_stat_activity \e | \ef | \ev : is incredibly helpful if you are working on a query, function or view which you immediately want to load into the database via the query buffer (setting the EDITOR env will help). Best done in production, of course. \set ON_ERROR_STOP on : to abort on first error \timing on : very helpful to see how fast or slowly your function or query runs Perhaps some example pg_stat_activity calls might be worth list, eg: SELECT pid, age(clock_timestamp(), query_start), usename, query FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE query != '<IDLE>' AND query NOT ILIKE '%pg_stat_activity%' ORDER BY query_start desc; # https://gist.github.com/rgreenjr/3637525 Rory
