I think there's a pgflush_history() call missing somewhere, since the buffer isn't flushed on a control-c. The fresh query is appended to the aborted one in the history: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- nnpg=# select nnpg-# something_i_would_rather_not_submit_yet nnpg-# -- <control-c> nnpg=# select 1; ?column? ---------- 1 (1 row) nnpg=# -- <control-p> will now yield the following history entry nnpg=# select something_i_would_rather_not_submit_yet select 1; --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Some more comments: Wouldn't it be more elegant to use the facilities in libpq's pqexpbuffer.h for the history buffer instead of passing the buffer-length around as a separate function argument and doing custom string operations? The multi-line history entries are not preserved between psql invocations. Bash does solve this by folding multi-line commands into a single line where possible. But I have to admit, this could be sold as another TODO item :-) regards, Andreas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
