I think doing any sort of reasonable scripting around psql requires a reasonable shell. Or next someone will suggest implementing loops and conditionals in psql. For that matter, I suspect in any shell you can read the required variables beforehand and pass them into psql through arguments. So the use case for reading variables during a psql script seems questionable anyway (without conditionals, at least). -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
