PostgreSQL : 'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

 postgres=#

postgres=#

postgres=#

postgres=# \l

'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

postgres=#

postgres=#



postgres=# \l

'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

postgres=#




This happens in psql on Windows when the MORE command is missing or overridden in the system PATH.

psql uses the system pager (more) to display long output like \l, \dt, etc.



postgres=#

postgres=# \pset pager off

Pager usage is off.

postgres=#

postgres=# \l
