Further, a simple mclient -l mal --help (with a running mserver5) will reveal whether readline support (and hence \h) is indeed enabled in your build of MonetDB.
Do you mean 'mclient -l mal -H' ?
nope. I meant what I wrote: `mclient -l mal --help` to get the help message and see whether this lists '\h' or not.
After compiling nightly stable, I understand your question.
The Mars-SR3 version didn't give such detailed information about which backslash-commands are available.
The current stable version does *and* it behaves correctly.
That exactly was my intention: get confirmation that the "old" MapiClient used in the Mars-SR3 tarball (in that "MonetDB Clients 1.18" version, mclient is just a tiny script that allowas to call MapiClient as mclient) is significantly different from the new mclient from the latest "MonetDB Clients 1.20" Stable branch that will be distributed with the upcoming release. Next to changing the name (MapiClient -> mclient) the functionallity (in particular help messages and '\'-commands) has been extended, cleaned-up and (most importantly) *fixed* and thus made work (properly) at all. Once again, this shows how impartant it is that both users and developers state clearly which version they are using/talking about ...
