With 'table' the idea was to do a "SELECT * FROM table" on that. With 'column' added only that or those columns would be listed. The "sql" part in the end was supposed to be a SQL-statement to be executed, like: psql "postgresql://localhost/dbname/INSERT INTO foo VALUES($RANDOM)" which should be equal to echo "INSERT INTO foo VALUES($RANDOM)" | psql postgresql://localhost/dbname ./hans
