Hello All,
I prepared patch for renaming postgreSQL script tools like createdb, createuser,
etc. to pg_createdb, pg_creteuser. Original names will be kept for 2 or 3
following versions. The main reason for the patch is to avoid possible clash of
names with systems tools.
And after long discussion on patches and hackers list we have made a decision
than we need input from wide audience. This is a reason why I prepare following
surveys.

Please let us know your meaning,
thanks Zdenek Kotala
