I'll second that. It would be much easier on the brain, as you might
issue a "pg --help" if you don't remember the exact syntax or even the
name of each command.
I like this too. It'd be considerably more work than the currently
proposed patch, though, since we'd have to meld the currently
separate programs into one executable.
One fairly serious objection is that doing so would eliminate the
current distinction between client-side and server-side applications,
at least if we wanted to fold both sets into one "pg" executable.
So a client-only install would be carrying some baggage in the form
of code that's useless if the server isn't local.
If we are OK with restricting the scope of the "pg" program to
client-side functionality, then there's no problem.
I think we can use pg (or pg_cmd) for client side and integrate initdb and other
tools into pg_ctl, as a "pg_ctl init" and so on.
