FYI, this was mentioned in the PG 11 release notes: <para> Allow <command>quit</command> and <command>exit</command> to exit <application>psql</application> when given with no prior input (Bruce Momjian) </para> <para> Also print hints about how to exit when <command>quit</command> and <command>exit</command> are used alone on a line while the input buffer is not empty. Add a similar hint for <command>help</command>. </para> </listitem> -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com If only the physical world exists, free will is an illusion.
