Hi,
What command to use to set the default editor to "vi" in vsql? I tried the following and seems not working
export VSQL_EDITOR=vi
Thanks,

Hi,
Where are you running the export command?

Hi,
So, after setting the VSQL_EDITOR variable to vi, which editor is launched in vsql when you type \e ?
Is vi an alias on your system?
For example, on mine, vi is an alias for vim:
Code: Select all
[dbadmin@vtest01 ~]$ which vi
alias vi='vim'
/usr/bin/vim
