I don't think inconsistency is a good thing here. Apparently the old format is available via \pset linestyle old-ascii. We can either decide that people should use that format if they want that behavior, or we can decide that changing the default was a mistake and revert it. I don't think a half-way-in-between solution is a good option. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
