It never occurred to me before what exactly was missing but I did regularly have to do CREATE TABLE AS (query...) just to see what types would result. It does seem like having a way to et psql to print that info without doing any DDL would be appropriate. I don't have a clear idea how to format it though. It could be in a second header row under the column names? Or it could be in a separate block following or preceding the result set? Or it could be only in \x mode as a third column in addition to the name and value? -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
