Hello pg-cracks,

I´m connecting remote to a pgsql server and get a successful login to the
specified database xy.
I can do the basic queries BUT some of the meta-commandos don´t work.
----------------------------------------------------------
Examples:
----------------------------------------------------------
#input 1:

#server response:
#similiar with input 2:
#server response:
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "("
------------------------------------------------------------

Oddly enough, the meta-commands \q and \? do work.
Did anybody stumble about this problem or something similiarly and has an idea
how to fix it?

best regards
Ralf

TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo (AT) postgresql (DOT) org

psql's backslash commands tend to be version-specific. Use a psql that
matches the server you are talking to. In this case it appears you are
using a 7.3 or later psql with a pre-7.3 server.
