Hi,
This is the 2nd iteration of this patch, for comments and review.
Changes:
- the arguments can be column names (rather than only numbers).
- the horizontal headers are sorted server-side according to their original
type. DESC order is possible by prefixing the column arg with a minus sign.
- the command is now modelled after \g so it can be used
in place of \g
- the title is no longer set by the command, it was getting in the
way when outputting to data file.
- there's a hard limit on 1600 columns. This is to fail early and clean
on large resultsets that are not amenable to being rotated.
- includes SGML user doc.
As I don't have plans for further improvements, I'll submit this one
to the open commitfest.
Best regards,
