# 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.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> \! clear
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This clears the screen in one step and keeps our current session running.
|
|

|
See the [psql
|
|
docs](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html) for more
|
|
details.
