hi

would it be possible to allow (in psql) syntax like:
\do = | grep ...
or even:
select * from table; | zcat - > /tmp/table.data.gz

i.e. - adding | ... at the end of command to send its output via pipe to
another program?

usecase that i had today was pretty simple - check list of operators
that are defined using "password" datatype.

generally - i could:
psql -c '\do' | grep -i password

but simple way of doing it from shell would be so much nicer.

we gave this feature already with \do - but i think it would be cool to
be able to do it on statement level - in more natural (to unix veterans)
way.

what do you think?

best regards,

depesz
