Cannot use \ commands

[sirmspencer]

Or at least more specifically I can do \connect my-new-db

I have a dump that looks like this.

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS my-new-db;

CREATE DATABASE my-new-db WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' LOCALE_PROVIDER = libc LOCALE = 'en_US.UTF-8';


ALTER DATABASE my-new-db OWNER TO megamouse;

\connect my-new-db

...
more schema and tables

If I run this with a local cluster like psql -p 5433 -d postgres -f migrations/init/db-local.sql, its able to run ok. With embedded postgres I'm getting this error:

:type org.postgresql.util.PSQLException
:message ERROR: syntax error at or near "\"

Using

(-> (.getPostgresDatabase ^EmbeddedPostgres pg)
    (jdbc/execute!  ["db-local"]))

Am I doing something wrong? Possibly and enhancement needed?
