Formatting the output

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...

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

The current output is:

tablename
=======
table1
table2
table3
table4
(4 rows)

What I'd like to get is simply:

table1
table2
table3
table4

Thanks.

How about psql -qt:

#$ sql -qt test
select * from pg_language;
internal|f |f | 0|n/a
lisp |f |f | 0|/usr/ucb/liszt
C |f |f | 0|/bin/cc
sql |f |f | 0|postgres

The manual page says -q turns off row count, but -t does. I will fix
that now.

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.

Thanks. That works fine.

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.
