I am using PostgreSQL 8.4 on Ubuntu. I have a table with columns c1
through cN
. The columns are wide enough that selecting all columns causes a row of query results to wrap multiple times. Consequently, the output is hard to read.
When the query results constitute just a few rows, it would be convenient if I could view the query results such that each column of each row is on a separate line, e.g.
c1: <value of row 1's c1>
c2: <value of row 1's c1>
...
cN: <value of row 1's cN>
---- some kind of delimiter ----
c1: <value of row 2's c1>
etc.
I am running these queries on a server where I would prefer not to install any additional software. Is there a psql setting that will let me do something like that?
