Hmm, cut buffer limitation in X or someplace? I definitely get the right number of characters into the file written with \g, and what looks like a reasonable number of screensful of plain psql output. If Bruce is seeing the right number of dashes and the wrong number of data characters in his \g output then *something* is pretty weird there. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
