Why once "pg_recv" and > once "pg_receive"? Well. What are the principles we want to follow when choosing a name? Is consistency the first and foremost consideration? To me, that names are exactly consistent is not all that relevant; I prefer a shorter name if it embodies all it means. For that reason I didn't like the "receiveloglog" suggestion: it's not clear what are the two "log" bits. To me this suggests that "logical" should not be shortened. But the "recv" thing is clear to be "receive", isn't it? Enough that it can be shortened without loss of meaning. If we consider consistency in naming of tools is uber-important, well, obviously my proposal is dead. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
