Hi all,
I was wondering why all the regression tests failed for me so i ran one
in the interactive mode.
mtcc:[/usr/local/pgsql/src/test/regress](73)% /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql
regression
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit
regression=> \i sql/boolean.sql
regression=>
I got nothing onscreen and no work was done.
After some digging I found that in non interactive mode psql
stops processing a file as soon as it gets to a blank line.
This seems to be where it goes wrong. (mainloop.c)
/* No more input. Time to quit, or \i done */
if (line == NULL || (!pset->cur_cmd_interactive && *line == '\0'))
When a blank line is encountered in the input
line = gets_fromFile(source);
returns an empty string ('\0') and terminates the processing.
with the if clause reduced to checking for line == NULL psql
does the work but fails badly due to the differences between
results and expected. (comments, QUERY:, echo processing)
Is the intention to modify expected to agree with the new
results output, or fix psql to output in the expected format?
Keith.
