The main reason I went with environment variable is that it's the path-of-least-code :-) And it easily fullfills my use-cases for it, which has me launching interactive psql with completely different settings from a script. Do you have a use-case where --psqlrc would be more useful than an environment variable, or is it *only* bike-shedding? ;) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
