When making a query with lots of columns, it can become so wide that it wraps, making the results incredibly difficult to read.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To combat this, you can toggle "Expanded display" using `\x`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```psql
|
||||||
|
website=# \x
|
||||||
|
Expanded display is on.
|
||||||
|
website=# \x
|
||||||
|
Expanded display is off.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expanded display changes the output from a conventional table to a key/value mapping:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```psql
|
||||||
|
website=# select * from wagtailcore_page order by title limit 1;
|
||||||
|
