To all, thanks for the concept. The following based on original design
submission, might help in tweaking:

CREATE TABLE elephant
(row_num integer NOT NULL,
row_dat varchar(30) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT elephant_pk PRIMARY KEY (row_num)
);

INSERT INTO elephant
(row_num, row_dat)
VALUES
( 1,'+------------------------+'),
( 2,'| ____ ______ ___ |'),
( 3,'| / )/ \/ \ |'),
( 4,'| ( / __ _\ ) |'),
( 5,'| \ (/ o) ( o) ) |'),
( 6,'| \_ (_ ) \ ) / |'),
( 7,'| \ /\_/ \)_/ |'),
( 8,'| \/ //| |\\ |'),
( 9,'| v | | v |'),
(10,'| \__/ |'),
(11,'| |'),
(12,'| PostgreSQL 1996-2016 |'),
(13,'| 20 Years of success |'),
(14,'+------------------------+');

SELECT row_dat FROM elephant ORDER BY row_num;
