Not the same question, but there's also a giant dichotomy between the naming of SQL functions and C functions, e.g. scircle_*
vs spherecircle_*
. And half of the C/SQL files are named pgs_*
while the rest doesn't have a prefix. It's very confusing.
The repository name is pgsphere. The extension name is pg_sphere. The document uses pgSphere. The names are not consistent. I propose to think about this problem.
I much prefer pgsphere
, and I think it's acceptable to use pgSphere
in the documentation.
I really don't like pg_sphere
for the extension name, but I think changing it at this point would be problematic for people who already have the extension installed. I think we are stuck with it, but I don't want to change anything else to match it.
So, basically, I wouldn't change anything.
I would prefer pgsphere as well. I agree we shouldn't rename the extension.
Some more questions:
For certainty, I would propose to use pgsphere for the following cases:
Use pg_sphere:
Then, we may describe such naming chaos it in the doc.
I'd put a +1 on pgSphere
, the spelling with PgS
looks weird to me.
