Hello,

I was just talking with one of my developers (Alexey) and he said, why
not just use Pg. Which is an interesting point. Consider that Volkswagen
is properly known as Volkswagen but commonly (and most of the time)
referred to as VW.

Why don't we just stop this whole PostgreSQL->Postgres->Postgre junk and
just say, PostgreSQL, also referred to as PG.

Heck, I know plenty of people that just say PG, or PGSQL, myself included.

+1 I like it.

From a design standpoint, 'Pg' is nicer. I know we're not there yet, but just sayin'.
