* slightly OT - Using psql from Emacs with sql.el

Hi,
When working with psql via sql.el, multiple prompts accumulate in a
single line when sending multi-line input to the SQLi buffer. For
example, sending the following:
SELECT a,
b,
c,
FROM some_table;
with 'C-c C-r' results in these lines in the SQLi buffer:
database_name=# database_name-# database_name-# database_name-#
before showing the output of the query.
This doesn't happen when working with psql directly from a shell.
Has someone dealt with this problem or can suggest some ideas to avoid
this?
Thanks,
--

Doesn't appear to. I use sql-mode alot/daily. The multiple prompts
never bothers me, though the output not starting at the left kind of does.

I've adapted someone's suggestion at the Emacs Wiki for that:
(defun sl/sql-add-newline-before-output (output)
"Add newline to beginning of OUTPUT for `comint-preoutput-filter-functions'"
(concat "\n" output))
(add-hook 'sql-interactive-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-hook 'comint-preoutput-filter-functions
'sl/sql-add-newline-before-output)))
... but this breaks navigation (e.g. 'C-c C-p')

Oooo, can't have that. Though my usage (sql-send-paragraph) does not
get registered in the command history, I still like have a proper record
of what I have typed into the *SQL* buffer. If I want a history of what
I sent from my working buffer (of sql statements) I wipe/yank into
*SQL*. Then the entire block returns on M-p.
