Hi all,
I work on a development and production server, and I am always
double-checking myself to make sure I am doing something on the
right server.
Is there a way, like in terminal shells, to change the PgSQL
shell's prompt from 'db=>' to something like 'host@db=>'? I'm on
PgSQL 8.1 (server on Debian) and 8.3 (devel on Ubuntu), in case it
matters.
You certainly can do this, very similar to PS1 on linux with bash:

Thanks Scott.
I'll add that the "other" escape codes, well at least newline (\n) work.
So I have in my .psqlrc
\set PROMPT1 '%/@%M\n%# '
And an expansion on the question. I didn't see or find in the
documentation is if there is a substitution code to get the first schema
in search_path?
