I have a different question. Why are we mixing file and pipe output? I think the use cases are different and perhaps we should use different defaults. For example, most people I've seen writing shell scripts involving psql output have to pass the -A flag all the time. Perhaps we could change the default output to unaligned for pipes? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
