Marcin Borkowski – A week ago, one of the commenters of my post from two weeks ago asked about the way to do stuff like \d (“describe table”) or \l (list the databases) etc. from SQL blocks in Org-mode. Well, the answer is – rather expectedly – “this is PostgreSQL, of course it’s possible”. Here’s how psql can teach you how to do it.
