Column headings using Comment?

Is there an option for psql to use the entry in Comments for "pretty"
column headings in a report? For example, instead of printing the
column name of "last" in the heading, the option would print "Last
Name" that is contained in the Comments field.

The only two alternatives I've found so far is to use "SELECT AS" or
to mangle the "\d+" output from psql with awk, which are both
cumbersome solutions, especially when a "select *" is possible.

Can anyone help?

I'm using the code below to display the results in rows with the column header as hyperlinks that will sort the rows by colum heading. Is there a way to have the results sorted (as default) in reverse order so that the most recent are at the top of the page also when the user selects the Open Date or Status column headings, sort the data in reverse order . Code is below. Thanks <% ppl_ctr=0

First, I should start by saying I am creating a database to be used by some very impatient, non-computer literate people. It needs to be seameless in it's operation from their point of view. I want them to do as little as possible when they run their reports. I have a crosstab query that displays usage of items for each month. It looks pretty much like this: ITEM DESC UM 12/02 1/03 2/03 3/03 ...ETC. 1 Solution ...

I need to do a summary using a crosstab query. The data has a Date field (Not named "Date"). I can do the Row Heading and Value but am having trouble with the Column Heading. The summary Columns needs to read like: Sept01 to Aug02 Sept02 to Aug03 Sept03 to Aug04 Can anyone give me a recommendation on how to get from the Date field to these Column Headings? I then would like to set criteria where I can select something that...

Hi, In a running C# app with a datagrid control I select all rows in the dataGrid using CTRL-A, I then paste into some other app like notepad or Word but the column headings get left off. Is there any way of including column headings when copying/pasting from a running datagrid to notepad? At this stage it looks like I have to write my own code but would rather not if someone knows how to do it.

I have a some online web report which are generated into html pages from a SAP application. When the report is printed it prints over multiple pages. Currently, as there is no page break, the report is continuous and the second, third, etc... pages do not have column headings. Can anyone tell me how can I make the column headings print at the top of each page? Thanks

I want to make the rows become column headings in an Access table or query. The data changes based on input to a form. It looks like this: A B N1 1 N2 2 N3 3 N4 4 Where A and B are the column headings.

I'm not that familiar with arrays so I'll try to explain my problem as clear as possible. I have 2 text boxes in VB where users are basically allowed to choose a date range up to 12 months. The format of the text boxes are "mm/dd/yyyy". So a user could choose to display data from 01/01/2007 to 12/01/2007. Or 07/01/2007 to 10/01/2007. Then I want the data to display under monthly column headings. My problem is due to the fact that the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
