Thread: psql: \dg and groups for \du
Hi, attached is a patch that adds display of the groups a user belongs to to \du and a \dg command to psql. It's against 7.4beta5. -- Markus Bertheau <twanger@bluetwanger.de>
Attachment
I will write the psql.sgml changes.
Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches
I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.

Note that it is planned to unify users and groups into a general "role"

NP, at least the code is there for reuse. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
