Re: [patch] Proposal for \rotate in psql

<div dir="ltr">Hi<br /><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><div class="gmail_quote">I am looking on this last patch. I
talkedabout the name of this command with more people, and the name "rotate" is unhappy. The correct name for this
visualizationtechnique is "crosstab" (see google "crosstab"). The conflict with our extension is unhappy, but using
"rotate"is more worst - (see google "rotate"). The term "rotate" is used less time (related to topic), and usually with
zeroinformed people. More, in attached doc, the word "crosstab" is pretty often used, and then the word "rotate" has
notsense.<br /><br /></div><div class="gmail_quote">The important question is sorting output. The vertical header is
sortedby first appearance in result. The horizontal header is sorted in ascending or descending order. This is
unfriendlyfor often use case - month names. This can be solved by third parameter - sort function. <br /> <br
