The attached patch adds the following new functionality:
\#e <lineno>: Will open the command at the given lineno in an editor.
\#e with no lineno will behave exactly like \e.
Example:
=====
psql> \#
199: create or replace function foo() returns integer as $$
begin
return 10;
end;
$$language 'plpgsql';
200: select version();
201: select * from foo();
\# 200
<select version() is executed>
psql> \#e 199
<the contents of lineno 199 are opened in the editor>
Definitely not for 8.3, however I hope that it can be queued for 8.4.
thanks,
