Could someone clarify why this (from PG 8.4) # \du List of roles Role name | Attributes | Member of ---------------+-------------+------------ admin | Create role | {} : Create DB postgres | Superuser | {} : Create role : Create DB someotheruser | | {} someuser | | {}
is an improvement over this (from PG 8.3) # \du List of roles Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | ---------------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+------------ admin | no | yes | yes | no limit | {} postgres | yes | yes | yes | no limit | {} someotheruser | no | no | no | no limit | {} someuser | no | no | no | no limit | {} (4 rows) The way I see it, a perfectly clear, complete, and legible table has been turned into a denormalized, unreadable, and ugly pile of ASCII salad that moreover wastes valuable vertical screen space instead of using the abundant horizontal screen space. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
