Not that I have ever used psql in this way, but this format is compatible with Vim "quickfix" whereas the old one is not (not sure what Emacs people would call this). Presumably, this being useless with <stdin> as a file name is the reason this wasn't implemented in the first place. +1 on the change. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
