Subject: pgsql: Add psql PROMPT variable for search_path.
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 19:09:28 +0000
Message-ID: <E1vDp4S-003xwa-1f@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Add psql PROMPT variable for search_path.
The new %S substitution shows the current value of search_path.
Note that this only works when connected to Postgres v18 or newer,
since search_path was first marked as GUC_REPORT in commit
28a1121fd9. On older versions that don't report search_path, %S is
replaced with a question mark.
