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.
