Hi hackers,
It occurred to me that psql's \z command could benefit from the
addition of some newlines. With any more than one grantee per object,
the output of \z rapidly becomes extremely wide, and very hard to
read.
I'd like to split the output onto one line per grantee. So, instead of this:
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges
--------+------+-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
public | a | table |
{brendanjurd=arwdxt/brendanjurd,foo=arwd/brendanjurd,bar=r/brendanjurd}
public | b | table | {brendanjurd=arwdxt/brendanjurd,foo=arwd/brendanjurd}
(2 rows)
You would get this:
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges
--------+------+-------+--------------------------------
public | a | table | brendanjurd=arwdxt/brendanjurd
: foo=arwd/brendanjurd
: bar=r/brendanjurd
public | b | table | brendanjurd=arwdxt/brendanjurd
: foo=arwd/brendanjurd
(2 rows)

Looking forward to your comments.
Added to wiki.
