The .psql_history file is naturally used by different DB connections (distinguished by a different combination of host + port + database + user).
At least in my multi-database working environment, this leads sometimes to frustration because there are commands that cannot or should not be used by different connections.
To solve this, psql could keep a separate command history file for each connection.
I will be happy to make this my first contribution to PostgreSQL's code.
What do you say?
Existing capabilities not withstanding the feature itself would probably be considered but I'm doubtful it would replace the default behavior.
The user would, at minimum, have to designate
a directory into which the separate history files would be created - polluting the home directory is unappealing.
If you want to propose the specifics of a feature that meets those two criteria specific comments and opinions on include-ability can be made.
