Re: psql format result as markdown tables

How does this work for you? I use this to get tables to insert into my
wiki, which are basically the format you want. I just delete the extra
lines I don't want at the end.

vk=> SELECT * FROM (values(1,2),(3,4)) as t;
column1 | column2
---------+---------
1 | 2
3 | 4
(2 rows)

Time: 37.888 ms
vk=> \pset border 2
Border style is 2.
vk=> SELECT * FROM (values(1,2),(3,4)) as t;
+---------+---------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+---------+
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
+---------+---------+
(2 rows)

For you it looks like you need to change the "+" to "|" and it will work
and delete the first and last lines. I don't know if you can change that
with some other \pset setting.
