B<rdb2pg> - insert an rdb table into a PostgreSQL database

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<rdb2pg>  [I<param>=I<value> ...]

=head1 PARAMETERS

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

=item B<input> I<file>

The B<RDB> file to insert into the database. If the given name
is the string C<stdin>, it reads from the UNIX standard input stream.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<rdb2pg> will enter the data from an B<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 B<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 C<db> and C<table>
parameters.  If they do not exist, and the C<createdb> parameter is
set, they will be created.  Table field definitions are determined
in the following order:
