Thread: sqlplus reporting equivalent in postgres?

sqlplus reporting equivalent in postgres?

From
Tony Capobianco
Date:
We're in the process of porting our Oracle 10.2 datawarehouse over to
PostGres 8.4.  One thing we rely upon are daily/hourly reports that are
run and formatted in sqlplus (break on report, compute sum, etc.).  Is
there an equivalent available in postgres?

Thanks.
Tony

psql - not as advanced, doesn't have all the features SQL*Plus has.


On the other hand, it is at least capable of command history and readline support.

Yes, but rlwrap will eliminate that limitation.


Damn!  Why didn't anyone tell me about that a couple of years ago when I had to deal with Oracle?

Hmm, for me SQL*Plus does support command history, but this is getting off-topic now...
