Here is a patch for psql's \l command to accept patterns, like \d
commands do. While at it, I also added an "S" option to show system
objects and removed system objects from the default display. This might
be a bit controversial, but it's how it was decided some time ago that
the \d commands should act.

I applied the attached patch to the current master branch and everything is
ok.

How does this affect psql -l? Should it, for instance, hide system DBs?
Accept an optional pattern?

-1 from me on that last bit. I don't think that you can really
compare the postgres or template1 database to, say, the pg_toast
schema. There's no real reason for people to ever care about objects
in the pg_toast schema, but the same cannot be said about template1,
which it's often necessary to connect to when running many of the
commands (vacuumdb -a, etc.) we ship with our distribution. I think
this will just be confusing to users without any real upside.

Suppressing the postgres DB is even worse.
I think that it might be sensible to have an "S" option and define
"system" DBs as those without datallowconn, which ordinarily would only
hide template0. But I can't get real excited about that. People do
need to know about the existence of template0 (for use in
CREATE DATABASE ... TEMPLATE ...), which is not so true of, say,
pg_temp_NNN schemas. The "it reduces clutter" argument also seems
pretty weak if we're only hiding one database, or even three of them.
On the whole I lean towards not adding this notion.

We removed showing system functions and operators from \df and \do
without S. Those are needed all the time. This was controversial at
the time, but it's the way it is now. The definition of "S", I suppose,
is more like "is there after database is created", not "typical users
care about these objects".

System functions and operators are needed all the time, but so are
system tables and views, and the old behavior was that the latter were
suppressed by default and the former were included by default. So I
consider that change to be well-justified on consistency grounds.
There's a practical consideration, as well. Out of the box, there are
2400 entries for functions and 3 for databases. This means that the
old \df behavior made it very hard to figure out what user-defined
functions exist in your database, but there's no corresponding problem
with \l. Finally, note that you can drop the postgres database (and
everything else will still work) but you cannot drop
pg_table_is_visible(oid), because, as the error message will inform
you, it is required by the database system.
If we make the postgres database undroppable, unrenamable, and
strictly read-only, I will happily support a proposal to consider it a
system object. Until then, it's no more a system object than the
public schema - which, you will note, \dn has no compunctions about
displaying, even without S.

Good point. What about the other suggestion about only displaying
databases by default that you can connect to?

I would tend not to adopt that suggestion, on the grounds that it has
no obvious parallel with anything else psql hides by default.
However, I don't feel quite as strongly about that case.

In the past, haven't we done this through the catalog tables themselves
rather than hacking up psql..? pg_stats being a prime example? With
the row-level-security discussion, there was talk about if we might be
able to apply that capability to catalogs also. That strikes me as a
better option/approach than doing any of this in one particular
application (psql in this case) which connects to PG.
tbh, I'm not entirely against excluding databases that don't allow *any*
connections (key'd off datallowconns) to clear out template0/template1
from the default list, but I see that as different from "things I don't
have permissions to".
Thanks,
Stephen

Most people didn't like the "S" option, so here is a revised patch that
just adds the pattern support.

It seems working well with the latest git master.
I think it's good enough to be committed.
BTW, is there any good place to put new regression test for the psql
command? I couldn't find it out.
Any comment or suggestion?

As far as a test for this specific feature goes, I'd be against adding
one, because it'd be likely to result in random failures in "make
installcheck" mode, depending on what other databases are in the
installation.
More generally, we've tended to put tests of \d-style psql features
together with the relevant backend-side tests.
The proposed patch to add \gset adds a separate regression test file
specifically for psql. I've been debating whether that was worth
committing; but if there's near-term interest in adding any more tests
for psql features that aren't closely connected to backend features,
maybe it's worth having such a file.

Yes, I think so too.
First of all, I was looking for some regression tests for
CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE commands, but I couldn't find them
in the test/regress/sql/ directory. So, I asked the question.
I guess these database tests are in pg_regress.c. Right?

Personally, I'm interested in having regression tests whatever
the target is, because software tends to be more complicated.
So, if we reach consensus to have dedicated tests for the psql
command (or other client-side commands), I wish to contribute to it.

Yeah, we don't bother with explicit tests of CREATE/DROP DATABASE
because that's inherently tested by creating/replacing the regression
database(s). And these actions are expensive enough that I'm not
eager to add several more of them to the test sequence without darn
good reason. I'm not sure how much of ALTER DATABASE's functionality
we're testing, though as you say pg_regress itself does some of that.
It might be reasonable to add some more tests of ALTER cases.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

* [PATCH v12 3/3] pg_test_timing: Add --fast flag to test fast timing, report time source

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.

In passing also reduce the per-loop overhead caused by repeated divisions
in INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC when the ticks variable has become very large,
instead diff first and then turn it into nanosecs.
