Ctrl-C Distorts Query Result Set Output

Explanation

If you interrupt an interactive query by typing Ctrl-c after the result set starts to display, your terminal settings may adversely affected. This is caused by vsql sending its output to an external pager program. For more information about pagers, see:

• -P assignment --pset assignment
• \pset parameter [ value ]

Workaround

• \pset pager — enables and disables (toggles) the pager program.
• \!reset — resets (clears) the query buffer.
