Re: Screen Overflow problem

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
