It's a little known secret, but there is no default account name! "postgres" is simply what most people seem to choose (but by no means all). The documentation might refer to "postgres" as well, but that's just to align with common usage. > change daemon name postmaster to pgsqld Most people don't start the postmaster directly anyway, so I don't see this as an improvement. > change client name psql to pgsql There are more clients than just psql. What's PgAccess' name going to be. psql is just the name of the program and it's hardwired into people's fingers. > change data location /var/lib/pgsql/data to /var/pgsql There is no default data location either. The /var/lib location is probably what the FHS folks dreamt up, but other platforms don't use it. > move .conf files from /var/lib/pgsql/data to /etc/pgsql As there is no default data location, these are just two arbitrary locations. > change all PG_xxx file names (PG_VERSION, /usr/bin/pg_xxx, etc) to pgsql_xxx More typing, longer file names, not pretty. > change all postgresql* file names to pgsql* The package is called PostgreSQL, so if anything, the change should be pgsql => postgresql. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
