Hi Everybody,

I am a bit confused about field separator.
In psql, \pset command lets me change this value from the default
to something else.  I thought field separator was =93|=94 below:

  marker   | allele = | afreq | fam_ |    p
------------+--------+-------+------+----------   = ; 
 RS2312724  | 2      | 0.125 | 25  =  | 0.271484
 RS1020382  | 2      | 0.417 | 69  =  | 0.609682
 RS11878315 | 2      | 0.335 | 64   = ;| 0.354771

Can somebody please tell me what =93|=94 is called in my example above?
And is it possible to change it from =93|=94 to something else for
display purpose?

Thank you.
