Hi All,

I am new to PostgreSQL. I was wondering if there is a way to recall
previous commands at the PSQL prompt, this would save me the hassle of
typing the same SQL commands again. Thanks in advance.

Use the up-arrow. If that doesn't work, you probably haven't got 
libreadline/libhistory installed, or they are installed in an unusual 
place where configure couldn't find them.

How about giving psql command history a longer life, like bash does it
(.bash_history)?
