[for those who don't know the sqlplus (or dbish) spool command: It's similar to the Unix tee(1) command: It copies all output which would normally go onto the screen into a file. > > If it does, I can't see it in the Ref Man # 1. > > > > Any ideas? > > > > copy. Note there is both an sql copy command and a psql copy command. I don't think so: Input/Output \copy ... perform SQL COPY with data stream to the client host And the postgresql copy command does something very different. \o [FILE] send all query results to file or |pipe is more like spool, but there are two important differences: 1) it writes the results *only* to the file, not the screen. 2) it affects only the results, not the commands. You should be able to get around the first limitation by invoking \o |tee file but I don't see any way around the second. hp -- _ | Peter J.
