Обсуждение: Very minor feature suggestion
It might be nice for psql to have a 'htmlcaption' boolean pset option that would wrap the provided title/caption, if any,in a caption tag in the HTML report output, when using html format. Motivation: When I use: \pset title 'Some title' or \C 'Some title' psql emits the text: Title is "Some title". even when using html format. This seems more like a diagnostic/annotation (like 'Title is unset', which is what you getfrom a plain "\pset title") than report output. For casual use, even "\echo Some title" is more pleasant, except forpost-processing by scripts, which people are no doubt doing. When using html format, it would arguably be better forthe title to be wrapped in a caption tag inside the table itself. You couldn't change the default behavior, but the htmlcaption would be a nice option. Regards, Kevin Murphy

I'm not following. It does do that already: => \H Output format is html. => \C 'Some Title' Title is "Some Title". => select 1; <table border="1"> <caption>Some Title</caption> <tr> <th align="center">?column?</th> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td align="right">1</td></tr> </table> <p>(1 row)<br /> </p> What do you wish to change?

It does do that already Sorry for not doing due diligence. These aren't the droids I was looking looking for. I'm moving along. I had tuples_only (which killed the captions) and expanded on, so that the results, which were guaranteed to have a singlerow, would look nice instead of having a "Record 1" prefix. This is a very special case, and not worth doing anythingabout, unless it bothers someone that a single row result is prefaced with "Record 1" in expanded mode. I was doing reports like this: \pset expanded \pset footer \pset format html \pset tuples_only \C 'All Samples' select (select count(distinct blinded_id) from core_person) as "Individuals", (select count(*) from core_sample) as"Samples", (select count(distinct uploaded_data_file_id) from core_samplefile) as "Genomic files mapped to a sample/person", (select count(distinct sample_id) from core_samplefile) as "Samples with genomic files", (selectcount(distinct person_id) from core_samplefile join core_sample on core_samplefile.sample_id = core_sample.id) as"Individuals with genomic files", (select count(distinct person_id) from core_blindfile) as "Individuals with analysisfiles"; \pset expanded \pset footer \pset format aligned \pset tuples_only -Kevin
