Thread: pgbash-2.4 released

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of pgbash-2.4.
http://www.psn.co.jp/PostgreSQL/pgbash/index-e.html


# What's pgbash
 Pgbash is a BASH shell which includes the functionality of 
accessing the database for PostgreSQL. It is possible to execute 
SQL by making a shell script in the batch processing, and execute 
SQL directly in the interactive environment.

# Change Logs
1. Adjust to PostgreSQL-7.0/7.1/7.2. 2. Fix a bug of Ctrl+C to cancell query. 3. Fix a bug of Pgbash original copy
commandwhen using delimiter. 4. Fix a bug of parsing ';' between left and right parenthesis    in SQL. (reported by
DiasBadekas) 5. Change TRUE/FALSE to ON/OFF value at the 'set OPTION' statement. 6. Add 'set
OPTION_HEADERTR/HEADERTH/BODYTAG/INPUTTAG/INPUTSIZE'  commands. 7. Add the functionality of 'EXEC_SQL_PREPARE' shell
variable.8. Add the functionality of 'SELECT INTO :host_var' clause. 9. Add the functionality of reading the
/etc/pgbashrcfile    if ~/.pgbashrc file does not exist. 
 
10. Add the functionality which displays line_feed/tab/carriage_   return as '\n'/'\t'/'\r'. 
11. Add 'pgbash_description' table for large_object functions. 
12. Modify output format for plain text table (like psql). 
13. Add "IDENTIFIED BY | USING | /" at the password syntax of the   CONNECT statement. 
14. Add the client_encoding in the connection table list('?m' command)

Does it support 8 bit characters, like the 'ø' in my surname?

In general: the ISO Latin 1 character set. Psql doesn't seem to do this
automatically.

Please type as follows.

% /bin/bash ( or /usr/local/bin/pgbash )

If your 8 bit characters are displayed correctly, then 
Pgbash can support 8 bit characters. If not, you should 
apply MULTIBYTE patch for the readline or the bash parser.

Of course, PostgreSQL has to be configured with multibyte 
as you know, and it is required that your terminal environment 
can use MULTIBYTE.
