I am quite confused and I am not sure what do I really want :-) I recall that we talked about a possibility to emit yamlish but the last thing I remember was the discussion about lower or upper case names... Was there a progress in that subject ? Anyway here is another thing that I found. The test script fetches a few rows from a database and prints out a nicely formatted table of the values using high quality ascii art: 1 | 3 | foo 1 | 7 | bar I can just print the array holding this using explain \...@data but that will lead to an uprising. The people who need to see this are Java and Matlab programmers. Any other YAML like output will still be inferior to that nicely formatted table but I hope I'll be able to hook up some formater to display that nicely. Preferably inside Smolder as that's what we are going to use to collect the reports. Gabor ps. This is just my wish list here :-)
