There was a change in 9.0.2 to use libedit instead of readline for this (readline is GPL, which is not acceptable to some people who wish to use Postgres in other products). One of my colleagues has tested the issue reported and confirmed that installing the OS's termcap package should solve the problem. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
