Agreed. This would be a significant annoyance for me on a regular basis. If I can't turn it off, it would probably cause me to create my own locally patched version of psql. Another alternative would be to use some other tool to run queries where I wanted long values without this, but psql has so many nice features that I'd be switching back and forth, so the patch would probably be easier. -Kevin
