Hi Everybody,
I am having a problem with field separator. Maybe
someone can assist me.
But first thing firtst: I am running postgresql 8.2.4
on redhat, dell 64 bit machine:
I issue from psql \f (or "\pset fieldsep ','") and
psql appears to accept what I want:
canon=# \f ','
Field separator is ",".
canon is the name of database, but when I issue a select
command, it still uses '|' as separator. What am I
doing wront?
Regards,
Tena Sakai

fieldsep applies only to unaligned mode (\a or \pset format unaligned).
