How can I assure columns align in the *SQL* buffer?
When displaying a table in my *SQL* (sql-oracle) buffer, column
alignment is often a problem. The column format is set, and aligns
correctly in a non-emacs window. I presume the problem is related to
tabulation, although a simple replace with spaces did not help.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Can you give an example of how it looks? I use sql-oracle
quite much and have no problems with it. I use a lot of
col my_col format a10 trunc
though...

The only time I've seen this is on
select attr,count(*) ..
group by attr;

Try the sqlplus setting
"set tab off"
Does this change the behaviour?
