I noticed that this build lacks tab completion (readline?) for the psql tool. IE I can't do a \dt bla<tab> and get the table name. Why is this? Any plans on compiling this in in a future release?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When I originally started this project, I was going to release it as a commercial project. That made using Readline a little iffy, as it is LGPL software. So it didn't get included.
Once I made the decision to release it open source, the inclusion of readline became much much easier, however, due to time and other constraints, it didn't get included until the 8.0.1d build series, which isn't quite ready for release yet. It should be available in the next release which is probably just a couple of weeks away now. Just waiting on the official word on Tiger so that I can vet everything on Tiger for the next release.
