How to exit from query result viewer in psql?
First query:
database=# select * from table limit 1;
...
|
(1 row)
(END)
I want to make a second query but I can't. ctrl+Z exits from psql. What can I press to exit only from result viewing?
Answer
Hit q. This closes many vim-like views, not only in psql, but also e.g. in 'less', 'git log', 'mutt', and many more.
Just FYI: Hitting Ctrl + Z does not exit psql, it just suspends it and sends it to background. The program continues to run, and you can resume it by entering 'fg'. In Unix environments, Ctrl + C is usually the way to forcibly stop a program.
