Hi-

Yes-I had already tried that....that is when I was given a list of what was all
possible switches were and hence why I tried -e.


psql: illegal option -- E
Usage: psql [options] [dbname]
         -a authsvc              set authentication service
         -A                      turn off alignment when printing out attributes

         -c query                run single query (slash commands too)
         -d dbName               specify database name
         -e                      echo the query sent to the backend
         -f filename             use file as a source of queries
         -F sep                  set the field separator (default is '|')
[cut]

Any other thoughts?

Thanks-
Beth
