That seems like it would be very awkward to use: you'd have to type quite a bit to go from one mode to the other. Personally I think that insisting on a one-letter command name is not such a good idea if you can't pick a reasonably memorable name. I'd suggest "\gc" (\g with a Cursor) or "\gb" (\g for a Big query) or some such. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
