II. PostgreSQL Client Applications
    This part contains reference information for
    PostgreSQL client applications and
    utilities.  Not all of these commands are of general utility; some
    might require special privileges.  The common feature of these
    applications is that they can be run on any host, independent of
    where the database server resides.
   
    When specified on the command line, user and database names have
    their case preserved — the presence of spaces or special
    characters might require quoting.  Table names and other identifiers
    do not have their case preserved, except where documented, and
    might require quoting.
