PG(1) User Commands PG(1) NAME pg - browse pagewise through text files I really find this whole discussion quite silly; it's about someone's personal preference? Don't get me wrong, I'm a lowly user when it comes to pg, and not a member of the hacker-community. But I've been using postgres for a good number of years now (since v7, I think) and have become quite accustomed to the names of the tools in use, have never observed any clashes with other tools, and as a Linux/Unix sys-admin type of person never had a problem with mistaking createuser for useradd or adduser. And I'll stick by the old maxim: if it ain't broken, don't fix it. > Regards, > > Dawid Cheers, Andrej > PS: And I feel it feels more natural to say "pg createuser" than "pgc > create user", but that's solely my "typing impression". And it's noticeably shorter to just type createuser ;} ... which worked a treat for many many moons.
