Personally I think it's rather nice to be able to have some extra flexibility in how psql prints out data.

Maybe I want the text aligned but with no border for example. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
