Subject: PATCH: psql boolean display
To: Phil Sorber <phil@omniti.com>
Hello
I am looking to your patch:
I have only one note. I don't think so using any text for values
"true" and "false" is good idea. I don't see a sense of any special
texts like "foo", "bar" from your example.
More strict design is better - I wrote simple modification - it is
based on psql psets - and it add new configuration settings "boolstyle
[char|word]". A advantage of this design is consistency and possible
autocomplete support.
Regards
Pavel
