I've been following this thread, and I thought this might be a good
place and time to throw in a few additional feature requests.
What about expanding the history capabilities of psql's history command
(\s) to include something more bash/tcsh-like? For example:
!insert
-- execute the last command that began with "insert"
!23
-- execute item #23 in my history
The above would require \s to output history index numbers. Might also
be cool if it would (optionally) truncate each line at the console
width, so it would be a little easier to read.
And what about some kind of switch to tell psql to combine multi-line
commands into 1. So if I type a big select on 5 lines, after executing
it, it appears as 1 entry in my history. Say something like \ss for
"history Single" and \sv for "history Verbatim" (or whatever).
Thanks for your time.
eric
