Re: Syntax error when combining --set and --command has me stumped

[Gianni Ceccarelli]

If you can use bash, or set up some redirections from whatever you're
using to execute ``psql``, you can do::

  $ psql somedb --set num=42 <<<'select :num'
  Timing is on.
  Expanded display is used automatically.
  Line style is unicode.
  Border style is 2.
  ┌──────────┐
  │ ?column? │
  ├──────────┤
  │       42 │
  └──────────┘
  (1 row)

  Time: 0.517 ms

or (more classically)::

  echo 'select :num' | psql somedb --set num=42
