BUG #1348: Wishlist: \pset expanded with value

PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2004-12-14T05:11:31Z

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1348
Logged by:          Brad Bowman

Email address:      pg@bereft.net

PostgreSQL version: 7.2.1

Operating system:   Debian linux

Description:        Wishlist: \pset expanded with value

Details: 


I hope this is an appropriate forum for this request.
Apologies if I got it wrong.

Within psql:
 \pset expanded 1 

ignores the value parameter, as expected from
the documentation.  This means that I can't set it
to a known value in scripts run with \i.


Thanks

I see your problem.  Added to TODO:

* Allow psql \pset boolean variables to set to fixed values, rather than
  toggle
