That sounds like a good idea.
Keeping the add-on filters in lowercase will help maintain
consistency with other commands.
Therefore, I will change the command name to the one you suggested.
The next patch will include the following changes:
- Rename the command from \dcs to \dCN (proposed by Tom. Thanks!)
- Join pg_class in the query only when the "+" option is used
(identified through Jim's additional testing. Thanks!)
Note: The following two points, which were discussed in the previous email,
will be addressed once the discussion is settled:
- Changing the column order displayed by the \dCN command
- Adding domain constraints to the list of displayed items
Thanks,
Tatsuro Yamada
