Rather silly question, but I can't seem to find the answer in the docs or man pages.
Starting with 8.3 I think, the psql CLI client will not display the results of a large query inline. It pipes to a 'less-like' result viewer that disappears when you hit q.
This makes it very difficult to use data from the first query in subsequent queries or updates.
Does anyone know of a switch or way to force psql to display the query results inline, like the old client did?
edit: the \x switch does this, but I need the multiple row view.
\pset pager off
\pset pager on
\pset pager always
Alternatively, configure the pager to your liking.
