I keep exiting by mistake because decades of readline use (Emacs, bash, &c.) have conditioned me to type C-d to delete a character. This is another version of the C-c problem that altsql solved. I found I could just remove the binding here and C-d still exits when there's no text to delete. Everybody wins! From the readline man page delete-char (C-d) Delete the character at point. If point is at the beginning of the line, there are no characters in the line, and the last character typed was not bound to delete-char, then return EOF.

From the readline man page
delete-char (C-d)
Delete the character at point. If point is at the beginning of
the line, there are no characters in the line, and the last
character typed was not bound to delete-char, then return EOF.
So C-d deletes when I need it to and exits altsql on a blank line. Everybody wins!
