Thread: psql formatting question

Hi,

Apologies to start with as this is run against a RDS database. 

TBH, I wish I have non-RDS database to learn PostgreSQL more. I do am looking for a remote job :-)

Anyway, on to the question.

I am pretty sure the answer will be a NO but maybe it isn't.

Are there any psql settings that I can set to format the output for below so that the output of settings is wrapped sort of?

=> select name, setting from pg_settings where name like '%extensions%' ;

               name               |


                                                                                     setting

Hoping to get the output like below maybe or something close to it.
