I read it http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/tutorial-accessdb.html

I can't use examples:

maxim-# SELECT version();
ERROR: syntax error at or near "SELECT" at character 18
СТРОКА 2: SELECT version();
^

maxim=# SELECT version() ;
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maxim=# SELECT version();
version

Is it my local troubles/misunderstanding? Thanks!

What you typed there was a two-line query equivalent to
SELECT version() SELECT version();
which of course is a syntax error. Notice how the prompt changed ---
that's psql's means of telling you that it's accepting a continuation
line for an incomplete query. The query ends at a semicolumn, not
a newline.
