Hello
* patch is cleanly patchable and compilation is without warnings
* all regression tests passed
* no impact on dump, performance or any current features
* no comments to programming style
* we would this feature - it is consistent with \set and it gives a fast
resume about psql printer settings
Issues:
1) it doesn't show linestyle when is default
I looked there and it is probably a small different issue - this value is
initialized as NULL as default. But I dislike a empty output in this case:
else if (strcmp(param, "linestyle") == 0)
{
if (!popt->topt.line_style)
;
else
printf(_("Line style is %s.\n"),
get_line_style(&popt->topt)->name);
}
I propose a verbose result instead nothing:
else if (strcmp(param, "linestyle") == 0)
{
if (!popt->topt.line_style)
printf(_("Line style is unset.\n")) ;
else
printf(_("Line style is %s.\n"),
get_line_style(&popt->topt)->name);
}
2) there is only one open question
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/b6f6fd62f2624c4c9916ac0175d56d880ce00...@jenmbs01.ad.intershop.net-
there is no clean relation between output and some pset option.
I don't think so Marc' proposal is ideal (these values are not a variables)
- but maybe some enhanced output (only for this resume) can be better:
postgres=# \pset
Output format (format) is aligned.
Border style (border) is 1.
Expanded display (expanded) is off.
Null display (null) is "".
Field separator (fieldsep) is "|".
Tuples only (tuples_only) is off.
Title (title) is unset.
Table attributes (tableattr) unset.
Pager (pager) is used for long output.
Record separator (recordsep) is <newline>.
This expanded output should be used only for this resume (not when a option
was changed or individual ask on option value)
