Hi. Traditionally, to generate a TSV report, I've simply invoked psql with: --no-align --field-separator '\t' --pset footer=off
That works in most cases, except when your column values contain tabs themselves. I know that COPY() will escape tabs (as \t), and we can use that from psql with the \copy command, but that does not include a header row of the column names. So, my question is, what's the simplest way to generate tab-escaped TSV-formatted reports with the first line containing the list of column names? I also considered handling the escaping myself within the SELECT, and then sticking with the first approach above. Suggestions? Thanks.
