Hi all,
I have confirmed a regression in the PostgreSQL 18.1 Windows x64
installer. The |psql.exe| binary appears to have been compiled without
|libedit| or |readline| support.
Even when |HISTFILE| is correctly defined in the environment or
|psqlrc.conf|, the application fails to record history.
Running |\s| explicitly returns 'history is not supported by this
installation'. This was verified on a fresh install of Windows 10/11.
|postgres=# \s C:/psql_logs/psql_history|
|history is not supported by this installation|
|postgres=#|As you can see I was testing with different places to put
the history file since it didn't work with the default location,
APPDATA\postgresql. V17 works fine with the installer. How can I
report this bug? (edited)
Regards,
Michael Vitale
