When queries are performed via query-pr
, they can refer to a
query format described by a query
section in the dbconfig
file:
query "queryname" { format "formatstring" [fields { "fieldname" [ "fieldname" ... ] } ] }
formatstring
is as described in Formatting query-pr output.
It basically contains a string with printf-like % escapes. The output
of the query is formatted as specified by this format string.
The fields
option lists the fields to be used with the format
string. If the fields
option is present without a format
option, the contents of the listed fields are printed out, separated by
newlines.
The named query formats full, standard amd summary
must be present in the dbconfig
file. full and
summary correspond to the query-pr
options --full
and --summary
, while standard is used when no format
option is given to query-pr
.
