Regarding this point, I kind of think that \dconfig is a break with established precedent, but in a good way. Previous additions have generally tried to pick some vaguely mnemonic sequence of letters that somehow corresponds to what's being listed, but you have to be pretty hard-core to remember what \db and \dAc and \drds do. \dconfig is probably easier to remember. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
