I agree here.  Similarly, one of the things I miss most from DB2 is 'LIST
TABLES'.  I don't have any problem at all remembering \commands - the only
problem is, as you described, that they are unique to psql.

One of the things I miss most from MSSQL is the ability to use variables.
Supposedly MySQL has this ability as well.  I can come up with a very good
reason if you want to hear it ;-).

Vertu sæll,
