Hallo Bosco,

i tried changing that, but it doesnt seem to work
(the echo only affects the psql cmdl, but is not written to /o file)

i am using a buil script, eg

psql -f init/test_build_psql.sql dev
or in psql> \i init/test_build_psql.sql

with the contents of test_build_psql.sql being:
"
\set client_min_messages warning
\set log_error_verbosity terse

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION user1;

\i init/test_create.sql
\i init/test_insert.sql

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION userX;

\i init/test_grant.sql
\i functions/Trigger_functions.sql

SET SEARCH_PATH TO s1, s2, s3, s4;

--functions report
\pset format html
\o report/functions_report.html
\df

--test student
\o report/test_student.html
\set ECHO queries
\i init/test_student_try_out.sql

--undo some settings
\pset format aligned
\set ECHO
\o

\set client_min_messages notice
\set log_error_verbosity verbose
"

mvg,
Wim
