[SR-Users] Kamctl and Postgresql

[Nathaniel L Keeling]

I was using kamctl on Solaris to add a table entry into a postgresql 
database table and received this error:

# ./kamctl domain showdb
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "-c" ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "select * FROM domain ; " ignored

After some research, I found in kamctl.pgsql the functions:

# input: sql query, optional pgsql command-line params
pgsql_query() {
         # if password not yet queried, query it now
         prompt_pw "PgSQL password for user '$DBRWUSER@$DBHOST'"
         mecho "pgsql_query: $PGSQL $2 -A -q -t -P fieldsep='    ' -h 
$DBHOST -U $DBRWUSER $DBNAME -c '$1'"
         PGPASSWORD="$DBRWPW" $PGSQL $2 \
                 -A -q -t \
                 -P fieldsep="   " \
                 -h $DBHOST \
                 -U $DBRWUSER \
                 $DBNAME \
                 -c "$1"
}

# input: sql query, optional pgsql command-line params
pgsql_ro_query() {
         mdbg "pgsql_ro_query: $PGSQL $2 -h $DBHOST -U $DBROUSER $DBNAME 
-c '$1'"
         PGPASSWORD="$DBROPW" $PGSQL $2 \
                 -h $DBHOST \
                 -U $DBROUSER \
                 $DBNAME \
                 -c "$1"
}


I noticed that the database name parameter ($DBNAME) did not have a 
flag. When I added "-d" flag, kamctl worked.

# input: sql query, optional pgsql command-line params
pgsql_query() {
         # if password not yet queried, query it now
         prompt_pw "PgSQL password for user '$DBRWUSER@$DBHOST'"
         mecho "pgsql_query: $PGSQL $2 -A -q -t -P fieldsep='    ' -h 
$DBHOST -U $DBRWUSER $DBNAME -c '$1'"
         PGPASSWORD="$DBRWPW" $PGSQL $2 \
                 -A -q -t \
                 -P fieldsep="   " \
                 -h $DBHOST \
                 -U $DBRWUSER \
                 -d $DBNAME \
                 -c "$1"
}

# input: sql query, optional pgsql command-line params
pgsql_ro_query() {
         mdbg "pgsql_ro_query: $PGSQL $2 -h $DBHOST -U $DBROUSER $DBNAME 
-c '$1'"
         PGPASSWORD="$DBROPW" $PGSQL $2 \
                 -h $DBHOST \
                 -U $DBROUSER \
                 -d $DBNAME \
                 -c "$1"
}

Was this the correct fix or am I missing something else.

Thanks
