Hi .
Just wanted to know what is equivalent of "Oracle &" in postgresql.
select count(*) from table1 where id =&1 where sqlplus plus will
prompt to enter value for 1. I would like to do the same in psql.
Thanks
Ashok

There isn't an equivalent feature, I'm afraid. There are variables you
can use, but no interactive prompting.
\set myvar foo
SELECT count(*) FROM table1 WHERE id = :foo;
