$ psql -U peimsmdata -h 127.0.0.1 peimsm

could not change directory to "/root"

Password for user peimsmdata:

psql (9.2.23, server 9.6.3)

WARNING: psql version 9.2, server version 9.6.

         Some psql features might not work.

Type "help" for help.

原因：

虽然系统安装了9.6版本的pgsql，但是psql这个脚本却引用了旧的版本。

解决方法：

替换系统中旧版本的psql脚本为新的版本。

$ psql --version
