1. Recalling previous commands at the PSQL prompt

   Gnoh, Chee Seng <csgnoh@intergraph.com.sg> — 1998-07-20T01:31:51Z

   Hi All,
   
   I am new to PostgreSQL. I was wondering if there is a way to recall
   previous commands at the PSQL prompt, this would save me the hassle of
   typing the same SQL commands again. Thanks in advance.
   
   
   Best Regards,

   Use the up-arrow. If that doesn't work, you probably haven't got 
   libreadline/libhistory installed, or they are installed in an unusual 
   place where configure couldn't find them.

   How about giving psql command history a longer life, like bash does it
   (.bash_history)?
