Uh, I don't follow. When we use -f, we'll run the script and then exit. The whole point is to run it and *not* exit, since you are normally using it to set up the environment in psql. That said, it might certainly be useful to be able to process more than one file with -f, but that's a different usecase, I think. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
