did you add a semicolon after the SQL command?
psql gives you hints if statements have not been yet completed:
test=#
means "database "test" is ready, waiting for a command"
test-#
means the preceding command has not yet been completed (semicolon missing)
test(#
means there's at least one open parenthesis
Example:
test=# SELECT * FROM mytable
test-# WHERE column in (
test(# 1,2,3)
test-# and nothing is null
test-# ;
output from command goes here
test=#
Hope this helps,
