Hi everybody out there using Postgres.

I am using PgAdminIII & I would like that my query results that
appears on the console might be redirected to a file or to a temporary
table.

Someone suggested in this list that I redirect the output of the query
using the "query" > file, but my intention is that the new file must
be on the client side.

My goal is to create a graphic from the query results and procesing
the data from the text file.

Any suggestions are welcome. :-)

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo (AT) postgresql (DOT) org)

Doesn't pgAdminIII have an option to output the results to the screen,

to a text file, to html, or to an excel spreadsheet? In pgAdminII it's a
dropdown box at the bottom of the SQL input window.

Actually Oliver used a client side approach. postmaster is the usual
server process and psql one possible client. psql -h HOSTNAME starts the
client process, if you are remote. You might have to compile psql for
your client system, though.

Yes. However I confused things by saying that the path specified by \o
needed to be writable by the backend. That is rubbish, of course, since
\o is executed by psql, not the backend.
