190 <title>PostgreSQL Client Applications</title>
194 This part contains reference information for
195 <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> client applications and
196 utilities. Not all of these commands are of general utility; some
197 might require special privileges. The common feature of these
198 applications is that they can be run on any host, independent of
199 where the database server resides.
203 When specified on the command line, user and database names have
204 their case preserved — the presence of spaces or special
205 characters might require quoting. Table names and other identifiers
206 do not have their case preserved, except where documented, and
207 might require quoting.

232 <title>PostgreSQL Server Applications</title>
236 This part contains reference information for
237 <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> server applications and
238 support utilities. These commands can only be run usefully on the
239 host where the database server resides. Other utility programs
240 are listed in <xref linkend="reference-client">.
