Unable to execute a command in Psql from the Terminal
psql --help gives (in part)
-c, --command=COMMAND run only single command (SQL or internal) and exit
You have two commands here, to get both results you need to combine the queries (a UNION); like
psql -d data1 -U user123 -c \ "select count(*) from table1 UNION ALL select count(*) from table2;"Or, run two commands (queries)
psql -d data1 -U user123 -c "select count(*) from table1;"psql -d data1 -U user123 -c "select count(*) from table2;"Or, you can put both commands in a file and use -f (psql --help says)
-f, --file=FILENAME execute commands from file, then exit
Use pipe:
$ echo "> select 1;> \d> " | psql # here is the magic, happy New Year *~<:o)╔══════════╗║ ?column? ║╠══════════╣║ 1 ║╚══════════╝(1 row) List of relations╔════════╤════════════════════╤══════╤══════════╗║ Schema │ Name │ Type │ Owner ║╠════════╪════════════════════╪══════╪══════════╣║ public │ dummy │ view │ postgres ║║ public │ pg_stat_statements │ view │ nd ║╚════════╧════════════════════╧══════╧══════════╝
