Hello I am returning back to this topic. Last time I proposed styles:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/cafj8prclgoktryjpbtoncpgyftrcz-zgfowdc1jqulb+ede...@mail.gmail.com http://postgres.cz/wiki/Pretty_borders_in_psql This experiment fails, but there are some interesting tips in discuss. So I propose little bit different proposal - choose one predefined style for any table lines elements. These styles are active only when "linestyle" is unicode. So possible line elements are: * border, * header_separator, * row_separator, * column_separator, Possible styles (for each element) * none, * single, * double, * thick, It should to have enough variability to define all styles proposed early. I hope, so this proposal is secure and simple for usage. Styles should be persistently saved in .psqlrc file - and some examples can be in documentation. Usage: \pset linestyle_border double \pset linestyle_header_separator single \pset linestyle_row_separator single \pset linestyle_column_separator single \pset linestyle unicode ╔═══╤════════════╤═══════╗ ║ a │ b │ c ║ ╟───┼────────────┼───────╢ ║ 1 │ 2012-05-24 │ Hello ║ ╟───┼────────────┼───────╢ ║ 2 │ 2012-05-25 │ Hello ║ ║ │ │ World ║ ╚═══╧════════════╧═══════╝ (2 rows) Comments, ideas ?
