I think that it would be good to add as well a set of TAP tests for
all those things. So attached are two patches, one to complete the
tests of pg_controldata, and a second one to add TAP tests for
pg_resetxlog.

[HACKERS] make pg_controldata accept -D dirname

2014-09-24 Thread Abhijit Menon-Sen
Hi.

I can never remember that pg_controldata takes only a dirname rather
than -D dirname, and I gather I'm not the only one. Here's a tiny
patch to make it work either way. As far as I can see, it doesn't
break anything, not even if you have a data directory named -D.

I'm sorry, but I don't think it would be an improvement to make the docs
explain that it's valid to use either -D datadir or specify it without
an option. If both commands were changed to *require* -D datadir, that
would be worth documenting. But of course I didn't want to change any
behaviour for people who have a better memory than I do.

I think it's all right as a quick hack to remove an inconsistency that
has clearly annoyed many people, but not much more.

Would you be OK with my just sticking a [-D] before DATADIR in the
usage() message for both programs, with no further explanation? (But
to be honest, I don't think even that is necessary or desirable.)

I'm sorry to have given you the impression that I objected to it because
it was hard. Since I proposed the same thing a few lines after what you
quoted, I guess I have to agree it's not hard.

I think it's pointless, because if you're going to look at the usage
message to begin with, why not do what it already says? But I don't
care enough to argue about it any further.

Patches attached.

-- Abhijit

P.S. Trivia: I can't find any other options in Postgres where the
argument is mandatory but the option is optional.

What's so hard about [ -D ] before the datadir argument?


I'm sorry to have given you the impression that I objected to it because
it was hard. Since I proposed the same thing a few lines after what you
quoted, I guess I have to agree it's not hard.

I think it's pointless, because if you're going to look at the usage
message to begin with, why not do what it already says? But I don't
care enough to argue about it any further.


There's also the reverse situation: you see that a script contains a 
line like pg_controldata -D foo. You're accustomed to doing just 
pg_controldata foo, and you wonder what the -D option does. So you 
look it up in the docs or pg_controldata --help.

Re: [HACKERS] make pg_controldata accept -D dirname

 P.S. Trivia: I can't find any other options in Postgres where the
 argument is mandatory but the option is optional.

psql behaves similarly with its -d and -U switches also; note --help:

Usage:
  psql [OPTION]... [DBNAME [USERNAME]]
...
  -d, --dbname=DBNAME  database name to connect to (default: alvherre)
...
  -U, --username=USERNAME  database user name (default: alvherre)


Both are optional and have defaults.  Datadir for pg_controldata is also
optional and --help contains this blurb:

If no data directory (DATADIR) is specified, the environment variable PGDATA
is used.

I think you could replace those lines with
  -Ddata directory blah (default: value of $PGDATA)


But psql --help doesn't use $PGUSER to expand the default value for -U;
I'm not clear if this means we shouldn't expand PGDATA in the help line
for pg_controldata, or need to fix psql to expand PGUSER in -U.
