Thread: Seperate files per function...

Hi all
I like to keep my views and functions etc in seperate files for source
control purposes. What I'd like to do is have a 'master' script that
includes each of the other files, in correct sequence.
i.e. psql < masterscript.sql
which would call each of fx_a.sql, fx_b.sql etc etc

The questing is whats the syntax in the master script to include
fx_a.sql,fx_b.sql etc?

Thanks
glenn

"\i filename" should work.  See "Meta-Commands" in the psql documentation:
