Hi!
I also find this annoying and would be happy to be rid of it.
Have you tried "\pset format wrapped"? Pavel suggested it, and it
solved most of the problem for me, for example.
Yes, but it changes the data line output. Ideally, you should be able
to modify these independently.
I agree, and I think this can be implemented, but I'm a bit afraid of
introducing an additional psql option (there's already quite a lot of
them).
I suspect primary PostgreSQL maintainers won't be happy with such an
approach.
I think I qualify as one of those ... :-)
Sorry, I'm new here, don't know who's who :)
I'll start working on a new patch then. A couple questions about specifics:
1. Can we add "expanded" in the option name, like "xheader_expanded_width"?
I think adjusting the header row width doesn't make sense on any other modes,
and placing that in the option name makes intent a bit clearer.
2. What was "column" option in your original suggestion supposed to do?
("\pset xheader_width column|page|nnn")
3. Should we bother with using this option when in "\pset border 2" mode?
I can do it for consistency, but it will still look bad.
Best regards,
Platon Pronko
