Hello,

psql shows (the queries and) the output,
there are for example the -L option and echo_queries option

is there a way to run psql so that:
* inside psql there are no surprises :) (ignore this line:)
* one pipe (or..) to a file which only contains the statements
(queries) history (and not the output)
* another pipe (or..) to a file which only contains the output (with or
without the statements) history

why? for example,
to have easy access in a psql demonstration to past commands
(history),
without the output cluttering or overwhelming everything, side by side
on the screen. (optionally with a third pane for the output)

there is also the /s option in psql,
but i guess the history is only written to file when psql is closed,
and is not accessible during the session (only in memory?),
otherwise this would also be an option
(not ctrl+r)

suggestions or alternatives while using the commandline?
