Hello * patch is cleanly patchable and compilation is without warnings * all regression tests passed * no impact on dump, performance or any current features * no comments to programming style * we would this feature - it is consistent with \set and it gives a fast resume about psql printer settings
Issues: 1) it doesn't show linestyle when is default I looked there and it is probably a small different issue - this value is initialized as NULL as default. But I dislike a empty output in this case: else if (strcmp(param, "linestyle") == 0) { if (!popt->topt.line_style) ; else printf(_("Line style is %s.\n"), get_line_style(&popt->topt)->name); } I propose a verbose result instead nothing: else if (strcmp(param, "linestyle") == 0) { if (!popt->topt.line_style) printf(_("Line style is unset.\n")) ; else printf(_("Line style is %s.\n"), get_line_style(&popt->topt)->name); } 2) there is only one open question http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/b6f6fd62f2624c4c9916ac0175d56d880ce00...@jenmbs01.ad.intershop.net- there is no clean relation between output and some pset option. I don't think so Marc' proposal is ideal (these values are not a variables) - but maybe some enhanced output (only for this resume) can be better: postgres=# \pset Output format (format) is aligned. Border style (border) is 1. Expanded display (expanded) is off. Null display (null) is "". Field separator (fieldsep) is "|". Tuples only (tuples_only) is off. Title (title) is unset. Table attributes (tableattr) unset. Pager (pager) is used for long output. Record separator (recordsep) is <newline>. This expanded output should be used only for this resume (not when a option was changed or individual ask on option value) Regards Pavel Stehule
