we had someone make a php app that was a form fill-in type of questionaire.
They stored all data into postgres as vchar type columns. Now the problem we
have is that
1) rows retrieved from select include cr/lf chars from the form, makeing a row
multi lines long
2) rows are so long that their not useable and we can find a useable delimeter
I've tried using
\pset recordsep "^"
(and other chars along with the caret) but it seems the postgress is not
using that character. My thinking was to strip all cr/lf, the replace the
caret with a newline. Then we could bring the data into something like
excel.
The problem is the recordsep doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts?
