Re: [HACKERS] Re: [COMMITTERS] 'postgres95/src/bin/destroydb destroydb.sh'

Well, rm is also a specific command, yet it's still a good idea to allow
for confirmations...Effects of destroydb are rather permanent ...
The reason I wanted to add this cause I intended to type destroyuser
but accidentally typed destroydb....*sigh* at least I have a backup...
Well...you can still do destroydb -y to force it...maybe building an
environment variable (something like PGFORCEDESTROY or something) would be
ok too...
