There is no rule of when the number of records at the end of the lists should be shown or not Sometimes we show that line "(4 rows)", but sometimes not. Should we have a standard for it ? Should we add them all or remove them all ? I think they are useless. Or maybe shown when no rows are returned.
datatype.sgml a | char_length ------+------------- ok | 2 name | current_mood ------+-------------- Moe | happy (1 row) func.sgml a | b ---+----- 1 | foo 2 | make | model | sales -------+-------+------- Foo | GT | 10 Foo | Tour | 20 Bar | City | 15 Bar | Sport | 5 (4 rows) Or maybe when not all records are shown, like in planstats.sgml index | values | nulls | frequency | base_frequency -------+----------+-------+-----------+---------------- 0 | {0, 0} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 1 | {1, 1} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 ... 49 | {49, 49} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 50 | {50, 50} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 ... 97 | {97, 97} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 98 | {98, 98} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 99 | {99, 99} | {f,f} | 0.01 | 0.0001 (100 rows) regards Marcos
