hello,
i use PostgreSQL on OpenBSD (various systems, including 2.5-2.8 beta)
and like it much. one thing, i have to make hand changes to source
(namely to src/bin/psql/input.h) to make _existing in system_ readline's
history working... the point is that for OpenBSD autconf finds and
defines HAVE_READLINE_READLINE_H and HAVE_LIBREADLINE and
HAVE_HISTORY_IN_READLINE, but there's no history.h in the system, thus
HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H nor HAVE_HISTORY_H aren't defined. So,
USE_HISTORY doesn't gets defined. Wouldn't it be good to patch the
input.h with something like:
--- input.h.orig Wed Nov 15 17:24:15 2000
+++ input.h Wed Nov 15 17:25:28 2000
@@ -27,11 +27,10 @@
#if defined(HAVE_LIBHISTORY) || (defined(HAVE_LIBREADLINE) && defined(HAVE_HISTORY_IN_READLINE))
#if defined(HAVE_READLINE_HISTORY_H)
#include <readline/history.h>
-#define USE_HISTORY 1
#elif defined(HAVE_HISTORY_H)
#include <history.h>
-#define USE_HISTORY 1
#endif
+#define USE_HISTORY 1
#endif
char *gets_interactive(char *prompt);
works fine for me... and seems to be logical :-)
