this can be considered to be a safely machine-readable format.
It's not a machine readable format. It is a simple display with more
border lines. Just like "border 2" is like "border 1" with more
border
lines. I'm just following the progression.
Personally I think it's rather nice to be able to have some extra
flexibility in how psql prints out data. Maybe, instead of the dry
and uninformative 'border 2', there could be a set of ouput control
options. Maybe I want the text aligned but with no border for
example.
Or maybe you want an external filter that eats csv or xml and excretes
what you want to see on the screen.
Cheers,
Steve
