Hi, IIRC psql's "\s" used to work, but I upgraded to 8.x on Windows - which recommends that cygwin/bin be removed from PATH - and I get this error: "history is not supported by this installation" Reading the docs, it states GNU readline is required. I presume that that was in cygwin/path - what's the remedy to get \s to work? BTW, is there a way to set the number of commands returned by "\s"? Thanks, CSN ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
