Hi all,
Recently, I reported on -hackers a strange case where psql wouldn't
reset it's query buffer properly on a malformed backslash command, which
would mean that the next query wouldn't be parsed properly. For
instance:
nconway=> select foo\\bar;
Invalid command \. Try \? for help.
nconway-> select 1;
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "select"
I've attached a patch which fixes this. I'm not sure if it is the
"right" way to fix it, but it resolves the situation discribed above, at
least. The new behavior is:
nconway=> select foo\\bar;
Invalid command \. Try \? for help.
ERROR: Attribute 'foo' not found
nconway=> select 1;
?column?
----------
1
(1 row)
Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply.
Cheers,
Neil
