Hi all,

Trying to get psql to produce multiple table attributes in the <table> tag when 
psql is used with the -H switch.

eg
TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=width=\"80%\""
psql $DATABASEHOST -U $DATABASEUSER -d $DATABASE -q -P footer -P title=Summary 
-H $TABLEOPTIONS 

produces
...
<table border="5" width="80%">
...

As expected.

TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=width=\"80%\" -P 
tableattr=bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\""

produces
...
<table border="5" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
...

Seems to hang on to the last.

And
TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=\"width=\"80%\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"\""

produces
...
<table border="5" "width="80%">
...

My quoting of the quotes is wrong but the point is that the quote to 
encapsulate the white space for the tablattr is placed into the HTML produced.

It maybe that you can only pass one table attribute or that I'm missing 
something.
I favour the latter.

Calls are from within a bash script.

Can anyone set me straight?

                                       version
