Thread: Formatting the output
Is there a way that I can supress the column heading and the "(# rows)" which come before and after the following psql command: psql -e db01 -c "select tablename from pg_tables where tablename NOT LIKE 'pg%'" The current output is: tablename ======= table1 table2 table3 table4 (4 rows) What I'd like to get is simply: table1 table2 table3 table4 Thanks. -Tony
Try: psql db01 -c "select tablename from pg_tables where tablename NOT LIKE '%pg%'" -t The -e makes it display the QUERY: <whatever> line... so removing it fixes that problem... the -t tells it not to show the column headings and such...

Thomas, please change the psql manual page to say -t turns off headings and the row count, and change -q to not mention turning off of row count, ok? I believe you are controlling the master manual pages copies. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Sure. Although I forgot to mention it explicitly, I've completed the
merge of the old man page info into the newer sgml pages. From here on
I'm just making small tweaks to get the man page stuff actually
working (have had to dive into perl code to get the cross references
to work).
So, feel free to touch those files yourself if you would like, but let
me know if you want me to do it.
