OK, I figured it out. :-) It's a fairly short patch in 7.3.3, what do I need to do to submit it for 7.4? I also made a minor functional change that may need to be turned into an additional variant on echo: if ECHO is set to 'queries' and output is being sent other than to stdout (\o), it echoes the query to the output file or pipe. If that's too much of a change and this needs to be a separate option, I'd suggest something like setting ECHO to 'queryout'. To be complete, would it need to have a command line equivalent, too? BTW, I figured out how to direct the output to a separate file each time, I put the following in .psqlrc: \o |tee `echo psql_${$}.txt` -- Mike Nolan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
