 I'm opposed to such variables, I don't see how they give an advantage:

- they make the code less readable (you have to look up what
POSTGRESQL_DATABASE_PATH expands to);

- they make the code longer (extra line for the assignment, and
POSTGRESQL_DATABASE_PATH is not significantly shorter than /var/lib/pgsql);

- changing the path is quite trivial as long as it stays in the same file
(I admit that I assume that you vi-users know how to escape a /).


 Regards,
 Arnout
