See example here: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/4580ff7b-d610-eaeb-e06f-4d686896b93b%402ndquadrant.com More simply, you can already do this with psql like this: => SELECT * FROM tbl1\; SELECT * FROM tbl2; This will ship multiple result sets. psql chooses to only display the last one. This is also discussed in the above thread. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
