Re: Is it possible to have psql ignore the line I am typing?

Thank you, Rosser.

It is interesting to note that -- and "/* ... */"
have slightly different behavior. Former is much
like # in shell or // in some programming languages,
while the latter shows multi-line propensity.

I believe the standard "--" remainder of line SQL comment glyph will work,
as should the C-style "/* ... */" block comment symbols.
