It's not so much that the change would be too big as that the resulting semantics would be confusing, at least IMHO. Imagine: 1. Person A logs into the service account, runs psql, starts creating stuff in postgres DB without realizing it. 2. Person B logs into the service account, runs psql -l, sees that the usual DB name is not there, runs createdb. 3. Person A reruns psql and says "where'd all my stuff go?". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
