Hello Shane, I'd like to see some code beautifier in PgAdmin too. Do you already have an eye to a CLI tool for this job?
I saw Free SQL Formatter (http://fsqlf.sourceforge.net/) under LGPL, which seems ok. May be, we can adopt it as a built-in default formatter (hope it will compile under MacOS, Solaris and FreeBSD). If things go well, it can be developed to support Postgre's SQL extensions and PL/pgSQL constructs as well. In short, seems a good idea to me, I could participate in it's implementation :) P.S. Should this be posted to [pgadmin-hackers]? Saturday, February 1, 2014, 2:17:20 AM, you wrote: SS> Hi list, SS> Just suggesting an idea.
