+<application>psql</application> is a character-based front-end to

+It enables you to
+type in queries interactively, issue them to <productname>Postgres</productname>,
+and see the query
+results.
+
+<para>
+<application>psql</application>
+is a <productname>Postgres</productname> client application. Hence, a
+<application>postmaster</application> process
+ must be running on the database server host before
+<application>psql</application>
+is executed. In addition, the correct parameters to identify
+the database server, such as the
+<application>postmaster</application> host name,
+ may need to be specified
+as described below.
+
+<para>
+When
+<application>psql</application>
+starts, it reads SQL commands from
+<filename>/etc/psqlrc</filename>
+and then from
+<filename>$(<envar>HOME</envar>)/.psqlrc</filename>
+This allows SQL commands like
+<command>SET</command>
+which can be used to set the date style to be run at the start of
+every session.

+Entering Queries

+<para>
+In normal operation,

+ Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL
+
+ type \e? for help on slash commands

+ You are currently connected to the database: testdb
+
+testdb=>
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+At the prompt, the user may type in <acronym>SQL</acronym> queries.
+Unless the -S option
+is set, input lines are sent to the backend when a query-terminating
+semicolon is reached.
+
+<para>
+Whenever a query is executed,
+<application>psql</application> also polls for asynchronous notification
+events generated by <command>LISTEN</command> and <command>NOTIFY</command>.
+
+<para>
+<application>psql</application>
+can be used in a pipe sequence, and automatically detects when it
+is not listening or talking to a real tty.
