Hi Team,

I want to upgrade my psql client which is version 8.1.23 right now. I am
not been able to see the DDL for the tables using \d option. I have
installed PostgreSQL through source.

How to upgrade the client?

============================

postgres=# select version ();
                                                    version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 9.3.5 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.1.2
20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44), 64-bit
(1 row)

===============================

psql -U postgres -W

Welcome to psql 8.1.23 (server 9.3.5), the PostgreSQL interactive
terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

WARNING:  You are connected to a server with major version 9.3,
but your psql client is major version 8.1.  Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.

=====================================


Thanks,
Vivek

Hi Vivekanand,

You don't need to upgrade psql client if you have installed PostgreSQL 9.3.5 from sources without specifying --prefix
then your all postgresql 9.3 binaries are under /usr/bin

So you just need to specify the path of that directory in .bash_profile which is under users home directory.

Following example of .bash_profile file.  

PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

export PATH

After creating file just reload the file

source .bash_profile

Hope this will solve your problem.
