And I just realize there's another way to read what Pavel said, which is that *user scripts* parsing the output of psql might become harder to write as soon as they don't control the default border style in use. Well in that case, yes I'm vastly off-topic. I was answering to how to parse the user setting itself, so writing C code inside the psql source tree itself, and how to expose a fine grained solution to that problem without having to write a whole new configuration parser. > It just seems to me to be a very big stretch to go from the topic of psql > border styles to the topic of psql scripting support.

I think I just understood something entirely different that what you were talking about. -- Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
