I'm not following. It does do that already Sorry for not doing due diligence. These aren't the droids I was looking looking for. I'm moving along. I had tuples_only (which killed the captions) and expanded on, so that the results, which were guaranteed to have a single row, would look nice instead of having a Record 1 prefix. This is a very special case, and not worth doing anything about, unless it bothers someone that a single row result is prefaced with Record 1 in expanded mode. I was doing reports like this: \pset expanded \pset footer \pset format html \pset tuples_only \C 'All Samples' select (select count(distinct blinded_id) from core_person) as Individuals, (select count(*) from core_sample) as Samples, (select count(distinct uploaded_data_file_id) from core_samplefile) as Genomic files mapped to a sample/person, (select count(distinct sample_id) from core_samplefile) as Samples with genomic files, (select count(distinct person_id) from core_samplefile join core_sample on core_samplefile.sample_id = core_sample.id) as Individuals with genomic files, (select count(distinct person_id) from core_blindfile) as Individuals with analysis files; \pset expanded \pset footer \pset format aligned \pset tuples_only -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

This seems more like a diagnostic/annotation (like 'Title is unset', which is what you get from a plain \pset title) than report output. For casual use, even \echo Some title is more pleasant, except for post-processing by scripts, which people are no doubt doing.
