How to get shorter SERVER_VERSION in psql-prompt?

From
Andreas Joseph Krogh
Date:
Hi all, I'm using the Ubuntu-packages and have this in my .psqlrc:
 
\set PROMPT1 '%[%033[35m%]%n@%m:%>%[%033[0m%] %:server_version: %[%033[32m%]%/%[%033[0m%]%R%# '
 
This results in this verver_version:
10.5 (Ubuntu 10.5-1.pgdg18.04+1)
 
Is it possible to adjust this somehow so it outputs only "10.5"?
 
Thanks in advance.

Well, where does that server_version come from?  Try adding this
somewhere to .psqlrc:

select setting as server_version from pg_settings where name = 'server_version' \gset

On Debian/Ubuntu, all version strings are somewhat extended.
Luckily, with the power of SQL we're not completely helpless, so try
this in your .psqlrc (somewhat simpler than your prompt, but you
get the idea):

select substring(current_setting('server_version') from '#"[^ ]+#"( +%)?' for '#') as short_server_ver\gset
\set PROMPT1 '%/ %:short_server_ver: %R%# '

Yes, that works across \c.

Happy prompting,
Christoph

Well, where does that server_version come from?  Try adding this
somewhere to .psqlrc:

select setting as server_version from pg_settings where name = 'server_version' \gset
 
select setting as server_version from pg_settings where name = 'server_version';
┌──────────────────────────────────┐
│          server_version          │
├──────────────────────────────────┤
│ 10.5 (Ubuntu 10.5-1.pgdg18.04+1) │
└──────────────────────────────────┘
(1 row)
 
I use packages from http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/

Ugh.  (So this is coming from "configure --with-extra-version" stuff)

I guess you could just split it out at the first whitespace ...

Does that also diddle the value of "server_version_num"?

No, that's still integer-format (it's unchanged and you can cast it
straight into INTEGER).

Gruss,

No:
show server_version_num;
┌────────────────────┐
│ server_version_num │
├────────────────────┤
│ 100005             │
└────────────────────┘
