Currently our prompt is fairly verbose:

Welcome to psql 8.1.10, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

We could just do:

psql 8.1.10 - postgresql server version 8.1.10

Type: \h for SQL help, \? for psql help, \q to quit

postgres=#
