Mmh... This could apply to any elephant picture. I don't think that this
needs a change, but let's see if there are more feedbacks.

I'd say the problem is at the end: elephant trunks don't curve that
direction.

True. I let myself lead more by the original picture than by zoology.

Instead of

|          v |  | v      |
|            \__/        |

maybe

|          v |  | v      |
|            |__|        |

or even

|          v |  | v      |
|            |/\|        |

The second variant seems better. Now it looks like this.

  ____  ______  ___
 /    )/      \/   \
(     / __    _\    )
 \    (/ o)  ( o)   )
  \_  (_  )   \ ) _/
    \  /\_/    \)/
     \/ <//|  |\\>
           |  |
           |/\|

Have a good day.
Charles

To all, thanks for the concept. The following based on original  design submission, might help in tweaking:

CREATE TABLE elephant
(row_num integer NOT NULL,
 row_dat varchar(30) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT elephant_pk PRIMARY KEY (row_num)
);

INSERT INTO elephant
(row_num, row_dat)
VALUES
( 1,'+------------------------+'),
( 2,'|   ____  ______  ___    |'),
( 3,'|  /    )/      \/   \   |'),
( 4,'| (     / __    _\    )  |'),
( 5,'|  \    (/ o)  ( o)   )  |'),
( 6,'|   \_  (_  )   \ )  /   |'),
( 7,'|     \  /\_/    \)_/    |'),
( 8,'|      \/  //|  |\\      |'),
( 9,'|          v |  | v      |'),
(10,'|            \__/        |'),
(11,'|                        |'),
(12,'|  PostgreSQL 1996-2016  |'),
(13,'|  20 Years of success   |'),
(14,'+------------------------+');

SELECT row_dat FROM elephant ORDER BY row_num;

I reserve the right to fantasize.  Whether or not you
wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.
