hi would it be possible to allow (in psql) syntax like: \do = | grep ... or even: select * from table; | zcat - > /tmp/table.data.gz i.e. - adding | ... at the end of command to send its output via pipe to another program? usecase that i had today was pretty simple - check list of operators that are defined using "password" datatype. generally - i could: psql -c '\do' | grep -i password but simple way of doing it from shell would be so much nicer. we gave this feature already with \do - but i think it would be cool to be able to do it on statement level - in more natural (to unix veterans) way. what do you think? best regards, depesz -- Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/depesz / blog: http://www.depesz.com/ jid/gtalk: depesz@xxxxxxxxxx / aim:depeszhdl / skype:depesz_hdl / gg:6749007
