I'd like the idea of having one command + action as in
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-06/msg00025.php
and yeah I read the follow-up and Tom's comments on psql -c
but still
- maybe a pg[something] action may be better integrated with
bash auto-completion without rewriting a sql parser
- you could still have man pg[something]
- it may simplify inputting passwords
- it separates admin tasks from "sql coding"
