For example \show could omit the description column and \show+ can include it. One could let \show support a pattern just like we do for table names in \d. Other then that I don't know right now what it would do. Maybe if you show a single variable it could show the maximum and minimum value if such exist. My main problem with SHOW as it is in 8.1 is that the output is so wide that it's very hard to read the output. Is there any use for SHOW except in interactive psql sessions? -- /Dennis Björklund
