    Hi all,

     I work on a development and production server, and I am always
    double-checking myself to make sure I am doing something on the
    right server.

     Is there a way, like in terminal shells, to change the PgSQL
    shell's prompt from 'db=>' to something like 'h...@db=>'? I'm on
    PgSQL 8.1 (server on Debian) and 8.3 (devel on Ubuntu), in case it
    matters.


You certainly can do this, very similar to PS1 on linux with bash:

Thanks Scott.

I'll add that the "other" escape codes, well at least newline (\n) work.

So I have in my .psqlrc

        \set PROMPT1 '%/@%M\n%# '


And an expansion on the question. I didn't see or find in the documentation is if there is a substitution code to get the first schema in search_path?
