Thread: redhat 7.3 problem
I just installed redhat linux 7.3. During the initial installation, I had it install postgresql. After I su as postgres, I then run the command 'psql template1'. At the psql command prompt, I try to run various command, but none of them work. When I hit enter, the command line just opens up another line and my command is lost into infinity. Any ideas why this is happening? Nothing works. I cannot run select statements.... Nothings.... Please help! Thanks in Advance....

Nothings.... SQL statements/commands are multi-line. They must be terminated by a semi-colon (;). It sounds as though you have forgotten this...

It looks like this was the problem all along. How could I have missed THAT?
