Hello

I wrote new styles for  psql table borders.

http://postgres.cz/wiki/Pretty_borders_in_psql

This patch is simply and I am think so some styles can be interesting for final presentation.

Do you think so this feature is generally interesting and should be in core?

Regards

Pavel

YES!

That's pretty cool, I'd love to see it in the core, however it doesn't contain any documentation, so I'm afraid it will be hard to use for people.

thanks,

Szymon

Hi Pavel,

I've found two errors in the documentation at http://postgres.cz/wiki/Pretty_borders_in_psql

1)

The unicode-double5 style looks like:

x=# select * from t;

┌───┬───┬───┐

│ a │ b │ t │

╞═══╪═══╪═══╡

│ 1 │ 1 │ a │

├───┼───┼───┤

│ 2 │ 2 │ b │

├───┼───┼───┤

│ 3 │ 3 │ c │

└───┴───┴───┘

(3 rows)

(There are horizontal lines between rows)

2) There is no unicode-double6 in psql, however it exists on the website.

regards,

Szymon
