Re: [pgadmin-hackers] Autoformatting - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

Anyhoo, The standard we try to use in pgAdmin at the moment is slightly different from the example you've given. To add it into the mix...

/* Keywords Upper, 4 space indent, commas after, AND/OR after,

 * no spaces after ( or before ), or around :: 

 */

SELECT DISTINCT 

    dep.deptype, 

    dep.classid, 

    coalesce(coc.relname, clrw.relname) AS ownertable 

FROM

    pg_depend dep 

    LEFT JOIN pg_class cl ON dep.objid = cl.oid 

    LEFT JOIN pg_attribute att ON dep.objid = att.attrelid AND dep.objsubid = att.attnum 

WHERE

    dep.objid = 16385::oid AND

    classid IN (

        SELECT 

            oid 

        FROM 

            pg_class 

        WHERE

            relname IN ('pg_class', 'pg_constraint')

    ) 

ORDER BY 

    classid, 

    cl.relkind; 

There are some subtleties that are open to personal taste there;

- Formatting of the sub-select - e.g. should the SELECT directly follow the (, and should the rest be indented accordingly?

- Formatting of multiple quals in the joins; e.g. should the qual following the AND be on the next line, and if so, should it be indented one level, or to align with the qual above? Should the first qual be on the next line?
