Thread: Auto completion in psql
How does line completion gets to psql? At my FreeBSD machines when I build the PostgreSQL port I have always had line completion. Now I need to do some work on a Linux SUSE machine (which I don't administer) and psql doesn't have line completion. The person that manages the machine installed from sources.

You probably need readline-devel package installed at compile time. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

It needs to be (re)compiled with readline support, and you will need the readline headers (SuSE provides a readline-devel rpm). Ian Barwick barwick@gmx.net
