  <title>PostgreSQL Client Applications</title>

  <partintro>
   <para>
    This part contains reference information for
    <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> client applications and
    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.
   </para>

   <para>
    When specified on the command line, user and database names have
    their case preserved &mdash; 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.
