Re: [GENERAL] Multiple atributes with -P switch to psql
Stuart, Thanks for the reply. You are dead right, and as expected the problem is not with psql. > $ psql -H -P tableattr='width="80%" bgcolor="#FF"' > > works for me.

I have thrown together an example to show the problem. I have not yet worked to a solution. If you know what it is I would be very greatful.

Re: [GENERAL] Multiple atributes with -P switch to psql
Hi Allan, TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=width=\"80%\" -P tableattr=bgcolor=\"#FF\"" produces ... ... Seems to hang on to the last. Yes- you've said -P tableattr twice so the second one overrides the first one. $ psql -H -P tableattr='width="80%" bgcolor="#FF"' works for me. Carefully study my nice simple quoting: single quotes '' around the whole tableattr='THING' shebang and non-escaped double quotes "" for width and bgcolor values. Cheers, Stuart. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
[GENERAL] Multiple atributes with -P switch to psql
Hi all, Trying to get psql to produce multiple table attributes in the tag when psql is used with the -H switch. eg TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=width=\"80%\"" psql $DATABASEHOST -U $DATABASEUSER -d $DATABASE -q -P footer -P title=Summary -H $TABLEOPTIONS produces ... ... As expected. TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=width=\"80%\" -P tableattr=bgcolor=\"#FF\"" produces ... ... Seems to hang on to the last. And TABLEOPTIONS="-P border=5 -P tableattr=\"width=\"80%\" bgcolor=\"#FF\"\"" produces ... ... My quoting of the quotes is wrong but the point is that the quote to encapsulate the white space for the tablattr is placed into the HTML produced. It maybe that you can only pass one table attribute or that I'm missing something. I favour the latter. Calls are from within a bash script. Can anyone set me straight? version - PostgreSQL 8.2.0 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) (1 row) Thanks Allan The material contained in this email may be confidential, privileged or copyrighted.
