Hi all,

How can I log into vsql at the command line when the user password includes a exclamation point?

[dbadmin@vertica1 ~]$ vsql -U comp_user -w"<:X+FT)tK!"
-bash: !": event not found

I thought enclosing the password in double quotes would work

Hi sKwa!

Thanks for your reply. I decided to take your advice and simply change the password! That was a lot easier
