If, on the wild chance you're an emacs user, if the section is in a
".sql" buffer Ctrl-C Ctrl-B will send the entire buffer. Not sure if
there's a practical limit on the number of line/statements, but I've
used this with a couple of "pages" worth of sql.

Hi Sameer,
I am trying to copy-paste (and execute) random snippets of SQL
to psql console.
There is another ways to do it, which do not involve
copy-paste, but I am wondering why is copy-paste won't work.
What exactly is happening there...

Hi everyone.
Let say that I have some sql file with like hundred of
simple statements in it. I `cat` it, copy it to
buffer, go to my beloved psql and insert it there.
But somewhere after first few lines it screws over:
b2b=> BEGIN;
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','ati.su
<http://ati.su>',0,NULL,5);
INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation'b2b=> INSERT INTO
oko_topsites VALUES('russian_federation','atn.ua
<http://atn.ua>',0,NULL,5);
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','audit-it.ru
<http://audit-it.ru>',0,NULL,5);
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','aup.ru
<http://aup.ru>',0,NULL,5);
'
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','autocentre.ua
<http://autocentre.ua>',0,NULL,5);
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','autodoc.ru
<http://autodoc.ru>',0,NULL,5);
b2b=> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','calend.ru <http://calend.ru>'
b2b(> INSERT INTO oko_topsites
VALUES('russian_federation','calorizator.ru
<http://calorizator.ru>',0,NULL,5)
Unclosed quotes, unclosed parenthesis - anyway it wont
work.
How to safely insert big number of statements to psql
at once?
I am aware about "execute this file" \i option of
psql, that is not the answer I am looking for, thanks :-)
My personal favorite for this exact thing is to use '\e'
When you are in psql, if you \e (on *nix) it will open a temp
file in whatever your $EDITOR variable is set ( I use vim). Paste
your data, then save-close the file. It will put you back into
psql and execute the command for you.

What are you exactly aiming to do?
Have you tried -
psql < myfile
