Hi,
I have a basic question about pg client. I know it is possible to let
pg complete the name of a table by pressing the arrow key.
It's the Tab key by default, which might be what you're referring to.
Yep.

unfortunately I can't do it while I am connected to pg (8.2) from a
gnome terminal.
Also the history does not work for me when I press up arraow key.
If it works in your console but not Gnome, then it's worth checking what
terminal it thinks it is - echo $TERM. Mine says "xterm". It's also
worth testing some other applications with readline support and see if
their history/completion
It does not work either gnome-terminal or xterm...
If it doesn't work in the console too, it's probably a problem with your
readline library.
I think that's the problem, I compiled postgres wihtout
readline... --without-readline
Thanks!
