Hi Andrew,
thank you for your suggestion: I wouldn't expect it was possible to pipe the psql
command output and was looking for a psql command ...

Unfortunately, awk does the job perfectly in a test table (having
only a few output fields) whereas it seems to get confused when I use it
for the real table and with multiple conditions ( if .. do; else if ..
do ; else do ). I'm reading man awk just now ... ;)

Best regards,
Ennio.
