Thanks Myles.  After a bit of experimenting I got this to work (I have to
remove the *example*  lines to make a table of the output.  But that is OK.


#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim
#!/bin/sh
echo "\d wos.za_wos_subject_percent_v" | psql -h localhost -p 63334
book_citation | sed '1,2d' | \
sed '/[|+]/s/^/|/'| sed -e '/[|+]/s/$/|/'

#+END_SRC

#+results:
#+begin_example
 View "wos.za_wos_subject_percent_v"
|    Column     |  Type   | Modifiers |
|---------------+---------+-----------|
| id            | integer | |
| subject       | citext  | |
| pubyear       | integer | |
| sa_papers     | numeric | |
| world_papers  | bigint  | |
| za_percentage | real    | |
| rest          | real    | |

#+end_example
