psql -e
Beth Gatewood <bethg@mbt.washington.edu> — 2000-11-02T00:38:04Z
Hi - There has been suggestions to start psql with the -E switch to see the queries that the \ commands exectue. However, 1-I can not use this option...we are currently running 6.3 version and I only see a -e switch 2- If I use the -e switch, if I type a query by hand I will get the query echoed back (QUERY:blah blah blah). However, if I execute \dt I do not see any query echoed. Thanks for your thoughts on this... Beth

see if you can start it with a capitalized -E actmgr=> \dt QUERY: SELECT usename, relname, relkind, relhasrules FROM pg_class, pg_user WHERE usesysid = relowner and ( relkind = 'r') and relname !~ '^pg_' ORDER BY relname On Wed, 1 Nov 2000, Beth Gatewood wrote: > > Hi - > > There has been suggestions to start psql with the -E switch to see the > queries that the \ commands exectue. > > However, > > 1-I can not use this option...we are currently running 6.3 version and I > only see a -e switch > > 2- If I use the -e switch, if I type a query by hand I will get the > query echoed back (QUERY:blah blah blah).

Hi- Yes-I had already tried that....that is when I was given a list of what was all possible switches were and hence why I tried -e. psql: illegal option -- E Usage: psql [options] [dbname] -a authsvc set authentication service -A turn off alignment when printing out attributes -c query run single query (slash commands too) -d dbName specify database name -e echo the query sent to the backend -f filename use file as a source of queries -F sep set the field separator (default is '|') [cut] Any other thoughts?

other suggestions: 1. upgrade :P 2. try getting a newer version of just psql ? 3. have someone else run the queries and give you the output ? > Hi- > > Yes-I had already tried that....that is when I was given a list of what was all > possible switches were and hence why I tried -e. > > > psql: illegal option -- E > Usage: psql [options] [dbname] > -a authsvc set authentication service > -A turn off alignment when printing out attributes > > -c query run single query (slash commands too) > -d dbName specify database name > -e echo the query sent to the backend > -f filename use file as a source of queries > -F sep set the field separator (default is '|') > [cut] > > Any other thoughts? > > Thanks- > Beth > > "D.

Run postmaster with -d2 and look in postmaster log to see what psql is doing. 5. Read the psql source code to see what queries it will emit. Suggestions 2 & 3 might not work so well, since the system catalogs tend to change somewhat from release to release, and psql's queries get adjusted appropriately. A query generated by a several-versions- newer psql might not work as desired on Beth's 6.3 installation. I like suggestion #1 myself ;-). 6.3 is roughly late Neolithic in Postgres years... regards, tom lane

upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3
rudy <rudy@heymax.com> — 2001-01-17T17:59:07Z
I am running Linux RedHat 7.0 and other than making a backup copy of our database, is there anything else that I should be aware before upgrading postgresql from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3? It is important that I limit the downtime other than the upgrade. Has anyone heard or read of any issues? I assume if it is more involved than simply un-tarring the file in the proper dir than there will be a README file with instructions or something... Thanks, Rudy Laczkovich
