Обсуждение: Naming of pg_checksums
Is there a reason pg_checksums is plural and not singular, i.e., pg_checksum? I know it is being renamed for PG 12. It might have needed to be plural when it was pg_verify_checksums. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.

Because it applies to checksums to many pages first, and potentially to more things than data checksums in the future if we want to extend it with more checksum-related things? In short I'd like to think that the plural is just but fine. If somebody wishes to do again a renaming, that's fine by me as well but I don't think the current name is an issue. -- Michael

I am not sure whether pg_checksum is better, but I'm pretty sure it's not worse. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
