The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4010
Logged by:          Jasen Betts
Email address:      jasne@treshna.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.0 (win32)
Operating system:   XP pro
Description:        psql does not honour -c after database name
Details:

I notice psql is now enforcing the argument ordering that is documented in
the --help blurb

Is that considered a feature

I used to do

psql -U username database -c "some big long command"

and that no longer works :(

I guess this usage is going against the documented command-line format.
