Thread: Improve psql's handling of multi-line queries
Hi all, Attached is a patch for the following TODO item: o Improve psql's handling of multi-line queries Currently, while \e saves a single query as one entry, interactive queries are saved one line at a time. Ideally all queries whould be saved like \e does. I know now's probably not a good time, but it caught my eye and looked easy enough even for my rusty C. Regards, Steve Woodcock

Yeah it's good; stores multiline queries in .psql_history which is an improvement over my patch. Cheers, Steve
