Export CSV from psql

Hi,
is there a way to display the table in CSV format or write a query in
csv to a file ?

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

I use the standard pipe signs as delimiters, comma's are a pretty silly
delimiter if you ask me. Try putting this at the top of your psql query

-- \a toggle between unaligned and aligned output mode
-- \t show only rows (currently off)
-- \o [FILE] send all query results to file or |pipe
\a
\t
\o /tmp/outputfile.txt
select ......
\o

Don't know if this helps you, or if you really need CSV. Someone probably
has written a CSV export I 'spose.

Best of luck.

Hello all, I just wanted to pass on some information about compatibility between the psql client and the postgres server. On a particular network, my workstation and the server are both debian boxes, but the workstation is on a more frequent upgrade schedule. The server is still running postgres 7.3.4, but my workstation has been upgraded with the latest (7.4.1) postgres client tools.

Hello, Today I tried connecting to my database locally via psql. I got the usual welcome & basic help messages, but it never got to the prompt: it just hung. So I checked top and the psql process was increasing in size at quite a rate (up to a gig in under 30 seconds). I'd been using psql with no problems only a couple of hours ago, and I haven't installed anything for at least a couple of days that I can think of.

With the advent of postgres v8, would it be possible to change the default behaviour of psql from AUTOCOMMIT=ON to AUTOCOMMIT=OFF ? Although this might break backward compatibility, it might be acceptable on the basis that v8 is such a major release. Also adding a new command line parameter to control the AUTOCOMMIT setting for those users that will experience broken scripts executed (especially using the -c command) might help ease...
