here is an example of out formatted or nice output when you issue the command

infohub=# select * from help;
-[ RECORD 1 ]+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
id           | 1
date_created | 2018-08-18 09:58:54.774
message      | use \x auto command to get output printed nicely
title        | how to show the select output nicely formatted in psql
member_id    | 1
-[ RECORD 2 ]+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
id           | 2
date_created | 2018-08-18 10:41:46.979
message      | postgres has a nice output format option as well.
