Hi,
I am using pgsql-7.2.3. Can i able to format the output of a SELECT sql in
psql as perl format?
Something like,
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| work_desc_id | short_desc |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Short description line 1 |
| | Short description line 2 |
| | Short description line 3 |
| | Short description line n |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
If yes, how can i do this? I have gone through the manual page of psql but
such formatting information donot appear over there. So, hope to get some
details over here. A link would be enough.
regards,
bhuvaneswaran

man psql.
Inside psql:
\pset border 2

Fine, \pset border 2 draws the border. But it donot format the multi line
value, without affecting the format of other column. I want to format the
multi line column appropriately. It should not affect the format of other
column, similar to perl format ($ man perlform). Hope i am clear.

'fraid I don't understand what you mean by "perl" format.
You can get format in the style above by executing
\pset border 2
in psql.
(SQL*Plus fans should issue
\pset border 0
and recompile psql without readline support to simulate
an Oracle environment ;-)
Place this setting in your .psqlrc file to make it permanent.
