Clear The Screen In psql
The psql
interactive terminal does not have a built-in way of clearing the screen. What I usually do if I really need the screen cleared is quit, run clear
from the shell, and then open a new psql
session. This is unnecessary though. Instead, we can use the \!
command to execute a shell command, in this case, the clear
command.
This clears the screen in one step and keeps our current session running.
See the psql docs for more details.
