Personally I found really strange to have "createuser" and "createdb" shipped by Postgres when I started using it. I just didn't complain. > "pg_ctl -D <path> init" instead of initdb command? Seems a reasonable thing to do too. Harder to type for developers, but how much of a problem this is for real users? And developers can script the thing anyway so I don't think this is a real problem. One idea is to move the offending binaries into libexec, and have pg_ctl or other helpers (pg_cmd) call them; and where compatibility with the old versions is requested, create symlinks in bindir. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
