I think a \show would be nice, but deprecating SHOW is out of the question. (The pg_settings view is a perfect replacement AFAICS but I doubt we can get rid of the old interface.)

Maybe the problem can be solved in a different way. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
