I don't think we're ever going to have DO able to do cross-database things, or top-level transaction control, etc. Perhaps, some day, we'll have a way to do that kind of thing in the back-end (I certainly hope so, and Berkus had posted a lot of good thoughts about that not too long ago), but even so, I think it'd be great to have some real scripting capability in psql and I'm all for fixing the variable handling w/ a ":{var}" capability.. Thanks, Stephen
