Actually in thinking about this, this is what the patch does now:
If version matches:
jd@scratch:~/pgsql/src/bin/psql$ ./psql -U jd -h localhost -p 9000
postgres Type: help for help.
postgres=#
If version doesn't match:
jd@scratch:~/pgsql/src/bin/psql$ ./psql -U jd -h localhost postgres
WARNING: Server 8.2, psql is version 8.4. Some psql features may not
work.
Type: help for help.
postgres=>
I understand Alvaro's point on the translation so no sweat, I will fix
that. What if I add the version to the help? With this patch if you
type help you get:
postgres=> help
You are using psql, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL.
For SQL help type \h or \help .For help using psql type \? .To quit psql type \q .
To view the copyright type \copyright .
postgres=>
I could change that to:
You are using psql 8.2.7, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL.
For SQL help type \h or \help .For help using psql type \? .To quit psql type \q .
To view the copyright type \copyright .
Does that make sense?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
