psql itself doesn't even know that .psql_history exists; that file is only touched by the readline library (or possibly libedit, if you are using that instead of readline; not likely since you are on Linux but I mention it for completeness). In short: seems like there's something wrong with your libreadline installation. What version of that are you using? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
