    Add CSV table output mode in psql. · aa2ba50c
    Tom Lane authored
    "\pset format csv", or --csv, selects comma-separated values table format.
    This is compliant with RFC 4180, except that we aren't too picky about
    whether the record separator is LF or CRLF; also, the user may choose a
    field separator other than comma.
    
    This output format is directly compatible with the server's COPY CSV
    format, and will also be useful as input to other programs.  It's
    considerably safer for that purpose than the old recommendation to
    use "unaligned" format, since the latter couldn't handle data
    containing the field separator character.
