I was surprised to find that the tab character seems not to be treated as whitespace by psql (7.1). Is this a bug or a feature? Specifically, the following command fails if there is a tab (\t) between "bar" and "init":t:" ezmlm=> create table foo (bar int); ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";" It succeeds if there is a space instead of a tab: ezmlm=> create table foo (bar int); CREATE Ellen Spertus
