Just overheard one of my colleagues on the phone to one of our users
taking them through the process of moving their PGDATA to a partition
with space...
With the various paths, service names, config files and environment
variables PostgreSQL appears to have a multiple-personality
disorder... Is it:
postgresql (/etc/init.d/postgresql, postgresql.conf),or postmaster (main postmaster process),or postgres (postgres
user),orpgsql (/var/lib/pgsql),or psql (psql SQL terminal),or pg (PG* environment variables, pg_*
files)?
I guess the point of this email is to point out the current
proliferation of terms is not user friendly. Any plans/interest in
standardisation?
Thanks, Lee.
