前言：
postgresql数据库相比较MySQL或者oracle，一个是开源优势，另一个就是postgresql数据库的命令行更为丰富，因此，数据库的管理工作更为方便，快捷，尤其是postgresql的短命令就可以基本满足日常的数据库维护，管理工作了。
####注：短命令通常是用在pg的命令行客户端的，也就是psql -U用户 -p 端口 -h 数据库IP 登陆数据库后 \c 这样的命令，我们称之为短命令，无需通过客户端登陆数据库服务端的，例如pg_controldata ，pg_dump 这些命令我们称之为长命令。
下面就postgresql的短命令做一个详细的介绍
一，
查询短命令有哪些？

可以看到，短命令按类别分了很多种，但，其中有一些命令是非常常用的，可以有效提高数据库运维，管理工作的，
因此，一些不太常用的或者使用率比较低的短命令，本文将会略过或者只是简单的介绍。
二，
连接方面的查询的短命令（非常常用的）
test=# \c
You are now connected to database "test" as user "postgres".
test=# \conninfo
You are connected to database "test" as user "postgres" via socket in "/tmp" at port "5432".
test=# \password postgres
Enter new password:
Enter it again:以上命令 \c 是显示简略连接信息，本例是使用超级用户postgres连接到了 名为test的数据库
\conninfo 是连接详细信息，本例是使用超级用户postgres连接到了 名为test的数据库，socket文件是/tmp目录下，连接端口是5432
\password postgres是快速d修改的，安全的修改用户密码，不过通常是postgres这个超级用户才可以修改其它用户密码，本例是修改本用户postgres的密码
三，
各类信息查询，主要是数据库，表，索引，外键，主键
查询当前连接的数据库或者schema内的表名称 \d+ 多显示表的大小以及所属这些信息。

四，
timing SQL语句执行计时
postgres=# \timing on
Timing is on.
postgres=# \timing off
Timing is off.
set 快速设置数据库内的变量，例如关闭自动提交，如果没有使用参数，就打印所有变量：
postgres=# \set AUTOCOMMIT Off执行shell命令，某些时候不需要切出命令行，比较方便
postgres=# \! ls ~/
1111.sh auto-sql.sh database-test.dump ewrwer.txt myglobals.sql test-backup test-database.sql test.tar.gz
12345.txt backup_log emp-bak1.sql logs SQL
