Re: db commands elicit no response

Right you are! Somehow copy-paste lost the right-paren, put it back in and away we go!

Thanks for your prompt reply, now I can go back to work.

I must be doing something stupid but I can't figure it out.

This prompt indicates that you are in line-continuation mode. Don't know how you got there but everything you are typing is being added to a command buffer.

create table policies (
"id" serial primary key,
"description" varchar(100)
;

So, you have an open parentheses here but never closed it...which would explain the above.
