Thanks in advance, Changing the field separator only works with unaligned output. You need to add a -A to your command line switches (or --no-align). Doing this, though, drops the column headers. -- Remove -42 for email ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

You need to add a -A to your command line switches (or --no-align). Doing this, though, drops the column headers. There's a bit of a documentation issue I think: the psql reference page doesn't point out that -F only affects unaligned output. You could find that out by consulting the crossreferenced description of \pset fieldsep, but it seems better to mention it under -F too. I've changed the documentation accordingly in CVS HEAD. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
