It did not wrap at all, so that "randomly not wrapping at all" was my kind of failure, wasn't it?

What environment were you running this psql command in? Was the output redirected anywhere with \o or with > on the commandline? We had a long argument about how this should work a while back so I suspect people aren't psyched about reopening it, but while I don't think the current logic is right I don't think wrapping to 80 columns when your terminal is wider is one of the current broken cases. It tends to fail in the opposite direction of randomly not wrapping at all so it's kind of surprising to see your experience. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Get trained by Bruce Momjian - ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostgreSQL training! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

This should have wrapped to fit into the screen with. Also look at \pset columns: Wrapped is like aligned but wraps output to the specified width. If \pset columns is zero (the default), wrapped mode only affects screen output and wrapped width is controlled by the environment variable COLUMNS or the detected screen width. If \pset columns is set to a non-zero value, all output is wrapped, including file and pipe output. -- Bruce Momjian http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

No difference at all. Line breaks are exactly as on screen (looks more crazy in email with non-fixed-with font) But really, linebreak betwwen "Zug" and "riffsrechte", and cutting between "=c/pos" and "tgres" postgres=# \l Liste der Datenbanken Name| Eigentümer | Kodierung |Collation| Ctype |Zug riffsrechte ---++---+-+-+--- ibox | ibox | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | postgres | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | template0 | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | =c/pos tgres : postgr es=CTc/postgres template1 | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | =c/pos tgres : postgr es=CTc/postgres (4 Zeilen) postgres=# \pset format wrapped Ausgabeformat ist »wrapped«. postgres=# \l Liste der Datenbanken Name| Eigentümer | Kodierung |Collation| Ctype |Zug riffsrechte ---++---+-+-+--- ibox | ibox | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | postgres | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | template0 | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | =c/pos tgres : postgr es=CTc/postgres template1 | postgres | UTF8 | German, Germany | German, Germany | =c/pos tgres : postgr es=CTc/postgres (4 Zeilen) Harald On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 14:11, Bruce Momjian wrote: > Harald Armin Massa wrote: >> Hello, >> >> testing / using PostgreSQL 8.4, I queried the list of databases via >> >> \l in psql >> >> I get information about name, owner, coding, Collation, Ctype and >> access rights.

[GENERAL] \l of psql 8.4 looks ... unreadable on 80char default
Hello, testing / using PostgreSQL 8.4, I queried the list of databases via \l in psql I get information about name, owner, coding, Collation, Ctype and access rights. Which wraps right in the middle of "ctype", as collation and ctype both are "German, Germany" As a result: this basic information command is rather unreadable with only 80chars. is this an effect only with "long name collations"?
