Yeah, 8.4 has two more possible entries, and adding them as separate columns would have guaranteed that the display doesn't fit in 80 cols. > If there's a way to have the attributes as a single line, > comma-separated, but that wraps around when exceeding the terminal > width, I'm all for it.

If we just made it comma-separated instead of newline-separated, it would be a trivial code change, and I bet it would still look okay for the typical case where the user has only a subset of these properties. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
