Can we fix that by adding some syntax to allow command aliases? So you could add to your .psqlrc something like \alias \gcsv \pset push all \; \cbuf; \; \pset pop where the \cbuf is a hypothetical "function" that expands to the current query buffer. This needs some refining I guess, but it'd allow you to create your own shortcuts for the most common features you want without excessive typing effort. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
