One advantage of the current arrangement is that the constraints and
triggers are almost (though not quite) in the same form as the
command to create them. It would be sad to lose that competely.
Agreed.
+1 --- I *very* often find myself copying-and-pasting from \d output,
and the proposed tabular format would be a huge step backwards for
that. Personally I kinda wish that the column display were closer
to what CREATE TABLE wants ...
Hmm.... what if we made the default to be all-tabular output, but had
a different command that would spit out the SQL to re-create something?
(I agree that the cut-and-paste ability is extremely handy and
wouldn't want to remove it.)
