It's the same spirit as \x : the only thing it achieves is better readability in certain cases, I don't expect more from it. But I admit that \pivot would be much more of a "niche use case" than \x > Besides which, psql is not all that great for looking at very wide tables, > so I'm not sure that this would be very useful for dynamic column sets > anyway. I use \x all the time with wide tables and \x and \pivot happen to play out well together (In fact I was pleasantly surprised by this) Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité PostgreSQL-powered mailer: http://www.manitou-mail.org Twitter: @DanielVerite -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
