I know all of you are accustomed to the command
line interface for pgsql. (Of course, some of you created it!)
However, I'd be interested if anyone else feels the way I do....
I would prefer to have a consistent set of names
for the commands. For example,
I propose the following:
Instead of
this use
this.
----------------------------------------------------
createdb
pg_createdb
createuser
pg_createuser
destroydb
pg_destroydb
initdb
pg_initdb
initlocation
pg_initlocation
pgaccess
pg_accessgui
pgadmin
pg_admin
pg_dump
pg_dump
pg_dumpall
pg_dumpall
postgres
pg_single
postmaster
pg_masterpsql
pg_access
vacuumdb
pg_vacuumdb
???
pg_help (list all these commands)
Not that it is terribly difficult the way it is. But I
simply think that a consistent set of names would help new users, and help to
prevent conflicts with other commands in the PATH. Any
comments?
