In thinking about it, I don't see how we can ignore .psqlrc if it has autocommit set to off. Imagine I am in psql and I do '\i file', and it works, so I code up psql -c in a script, and it doesn't work --- would be quite strange. I think the only thing we can do is have a psql flag that turns autocommit on and overrides .psqlrc --- maybe that's what you had in mind. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
