IMHO with \pset I'd have different places where I'd need to figure out whether to do the cursor thing and I was a bit reluctant to add stuff to existing code paths. Also the other \pset options are somewhat orthogonal to this one. Just my two EUR cents, of course... :) Bye, Chris. -- Chris Mair http://www.1006.org ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
