redhat 7.3 problem

From
"Edgar Castanedo"
Date:
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....

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

You can also use \g  (enter \? for help on psql internal commands).

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

Thanks for your help!
