Piotr's version seems to at least do this more consistently than the old version; for instance I notice this diff from Bruce's run: @@ -1864,8 +1864,8 @@ describeOneTableDetails(const char *schemaname, if (verbose) printfPQExpBuffer(&buf, "SELECT inhparent::pg_catalog.regclass," - " pg_get_expr(c.relpartbound, inhrelid)," - " pg_get_partition_constraintdef(inhrelid)" + " pg_get_expr(c.relpartbound, inhrelid)," + " pg_get_partition_constraintdef(inhrelid)" " FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c" " JOIN pg_catalog.pg_inherits" " ON c.oid = inhrelid" (Again, untabified for clarity.) However, it didn't do anything to any of the horribly-formatted queries in pg_dump.c, so it's mostly following the same rule as before. > I'm not sure what's the behavior we do want.

If you want to line things up with a function call paren, you can always start the whole literal on a fresh line, as in the above example. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
