Survey: renaming/removing script binaries (createdb, createuser...) - Mailing list pgsql-general
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. See: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-03/msg01006.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-07/msg00055.php Please let us know your meaning, thanks Zdenek Kotala 1) What type of names do you prefer? ------------------------------- a) old notation - createdb, createuser ... b) new one with pg_ prefix - pg_createdb, pg_creteuser ... c) new one with pg prefix - pgcreatedb, pgcreateuser ... d) remove them - psql is the solution e) remove them - pgadmin is the solution 2) How often do you use these tools? ----------------------------------- a) every day (e.g. in my cron) b) one per week c) one time d) never 3) What name of initdb do you prefer? ---------- -------------------------- a) initdb b) pg_initdb c) pg_init d) pg_ctl -d <dir> init (replace initdb with pg_ctl new functionality) e) What is initdb?
