I'm not really concerned with any backwards compatibility for this new feature, as psql has never attempted it for backslash commands. would it be safer to make a new cast? also, does your patch account for in/out? If it didn't, it will. :) Cheers, D -- David Fetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fetter.org/ phone: +1 415 235 3778AIM: dfetter666 Skype: davidfetter Remember to vote! ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

Seems reasonable, as long as it doesn't make the output an extra three screens wide. I can't guarantee that people haven't given their input parameters names like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious_input_01. I could try something that would wrap in such cases, but that's a lot more code. Should I try something that wraps?

[GENERAL] getting function argument names from psql?
Is there a way to get the names of the arguments to a function from psql? /df and /df+ return the parameter types, but not their names. Thanks, Tim ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
