Hi:

Using a single psql command to generate stdout in linux that will be redirected to a file. Many rows with 1 column are returned. I want no header, no footer, no blank lines at the top or bottom, no initial space before each record. This is what I'm trying...

psql -P tuples_only=on,footer=off,border=0 mydb

This gets rid of the header and footer OK. But there is still a blank line as the first line in stdout. Also, each record has a preceding space before the column value.

Is there a way to do what I want?

-dave
