  1. Creating Textfiles out of tables

    Martin Möderndorfer <mmoedern@linux.stuco.uni-klu.ac.at> — 1999-02-16T13:05:09Z

    Hi,
    
    i have some tables and want to extract results of a query on them into a
    text-file. it should be possible to insert ":","{" between the different
    tuples.
    
    Any ideas

    psql joe
    
    joe=> \t
    turned off output headings and row count
    joe=> \f :
    field separator changed to ':'
    joe=> select * from btmm;
    a      : 13.2:FO
    b      : 1.32:FO
    c      :31.32:RO
    
    if you type \o file_name
    the result will be stored to a file named "file_name".

    Hi Martin
    
    One why (there may be a better way), would be to do a 'select...into table
    ...from ....', now that you have the result set you want in a temp table,
    use the copy command ( in psql do '\h copy' for help.)
    Also, for select help do (in side psql) '\h select'.
    
    Hope that helps
    Terry
