Perhaps you could write a little external that could talk to the backend directly (although there isn't really much you can't do from within psql). There is a "driver" for just about any language you can think of in postgres. In fact, if you look at the .tcl driver code (my personal favorite), you can see how to make a postgres driver IN TRANSCRIPT. The
only requirement is that you be able to read and write a socket in binary.

I might even give this a try even though I'm on windows.

Can I ask why you are using psql instead of the rev functions (which don't pad)?

Rev Database Functions: You Wish! We Wish!

This is the 2.6.1 engine running on a linux web server...
so, it is relatively "crippled" dBase wise.

all the power tools we would love to be able to
use on a web server installation are simply not available.

Crossing our fingers that this will all change
with 2.9....

It appears that the -A option to psql does what you want.  It's right
at the beginning of the man entry for psql.

To see this in action log in to vel and cd to /tmp, then run

psql htde -f event.sql

It looks like this

 user_id | event_code |     event_time      |      description
---------+------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 878 | AU | 2008-06-02 13:18:45 | user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 878 | VI | 2008-06-02 13:20:28 | Hinduism Today Digital Edition July/August/September 2007 878 | DB | 2008-06-02 13:20:28 | http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/2007/7-9/cover_2007-07-01.jpg 878 | DE | 2008-06-02 13:20:33 | http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/2007/7-9/cover_2007-07-01.jpg

next run psql -A htde -f event.sql and it looks like this

So does that do it for you?
