Обсуждение: Screen Overflow problem
Hai, I am new to this psqsql group. I just installed cygwin on win 98. Both psql and postmaster are doing well. However I face a problem. The problem is the screen when executing a big query is getting stuck and I could not even do clear screen. Do I have to install any special package for formatiing the screen output.. Thanks.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
What do you mean, "getting stuck"? psql pipes its output into 'less' so that you can look at the query respone one page at a time. less stops after one page, and you have to hit 'space' to continue or 'q' to exit. If you don't want your output going through 'less', type \pset pager Russell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Padma Sundar Narayanan" <padsundar@yahoo.com> To: <pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 3:11 PM Subject: [CYGWIN] Screen Overflow problem > Hai, > > I am new to this psqsql group. > > I just installed cygwin on win 98. > > Both psql and postmaster are doing well. > > However I face a problem. > > The problem is the screen when executing a big query > is getting stuck and I could not even do clear screen. > > Do I have to install any special package for > formatiing the screen output.. > > Thanks.. > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!

I don't think I've seen this. When you say overflow do you mean the lines are too long? (longer than 80 chars?) or do you mean there are too many lines?
