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?
