I disagree. If they want to use PostgreSQL, they should learn our
syntax. How can you make sure that this will be enough for them? What if
they want more?
I have administrated lots of MySQL server until I started working for
Command Prompt (I still take a look at one once a month, for a
government related thing).
+#define MYSQL_HELP_CHECK(o) \
What if some other people will come up with the idea of adding similar
functionality for their favorite database? The only exception will be
Informix IMHO, because of historical reasons.
So, -1 from me for adding such a support for MySQL's cli commands.
