Обсуждение: proposal - psql output file write mode
Hi
I am playing with pspg and inotify support. It is working pretty well and now can be nice if forwarding to output file can be configured little bit more. Now, only append mode is supported. But append mode doesn't work with pspg pager. So I propose new pset option "file_output_mode" with two possible values "append" (default, current behave) and "rewrite" (new mode).
Usage:
\pset file_ouput_mode rewrite
In this mode, the file is opened before printing and it is closed after printing.
What do you think about this proposal?
Regards
Pavel

I tried to implement this feature and it doesn't look like good idea. There is not trivial implementation, and looks so costs are higher than benefits.
