You had -t in your original to turn off the display of column names and
the counts at the end, and -A is the shortcut for what you had as "-P
'format=unaligned'". I throw "-At" into almost every use of psql from a
bash script I do, that's the usual combination that gets the basic
format to be right; then tweak things like the field separator afterwards.
