NAME
    rdb2pg - insert an rdb table into a PostgreSQL database

SYNOPSIS
    rdb2pg [*param*=*value* ...]

PARAMETERS
    rdb2pg uses an IRAF-compatible parameter interface. A template parameter
    file is in /proj/axaf/simul/lib/uparm/rdb2pg.par.

    input *file*
        The RDB file to insert into the database. If the given name is the
        string `stdin', it reads from the UNIX standard input stream.

DESCRIPTION
    rdb2pg will enter the data from an RDB database into a PostgreSQL
    database table, optionally creating the database and the table if they
    do not exist. It automatically determines the PostgreSQL data type from
    the column definition in the RDB file, but may be overriden via a series
    of definition files or directly via one of its parameters.

    The target database and table are specified by the `db' and `table'
    parameters. If they do not exist, and the `createdb' parameter is set,
    they will be created. Table field definitions are determined in the
    following order:
