Thus, I want to add a bit to the top of the script, something like this:
\if :DBNAME = postgres
echo "must not run in postgres"
exit
\endif
However, I can't seem to find the magic sauce.
You have to use a dedicated variable. Something like
SELECT :'DBNAME' = 'postgres' AS is_postgres \gset
That works...
\if :is_postgres
[...]
That *almost* works,
My script:
$ cat test_pg.sql
SELECT :'DBNAME' = 'postgres' AS is_postgres \gset
\echo :is_postgres
\if :is_postgres
\echo 'connected to postgres'
exit
\else
\echo 'not connected to postgres'
\endif
The output:
$ psql12 -f test_pg.sql
t
connected to postgres
got here
psql:test_pg.sql:15: ERROR: syntax error at or near "exit"
LINE 1: exit
