The error is here above. You had a "-#" prompt, saying
that you already started another statement in a previous line
but you haven't finished it with a ";"
> ERROR: syntax error at or near "select"

Also, the "LINE 2" message tells that you had something in
the first line which was not shown by you.

I bet that you had a "=#" prompt when it ran fine, not "-#".
