Could you please be more specific? Where should the dbname option be gone, in mclient, some language binding etc.?
Thanks,

The database is called 'demo' is that as expected?

I see that demo also disappears with --dbpath now. I guess this will going to break some systems.

Changes are documented --- cf. `mserver5 --help`, `man mserver5`, `cat monetdb5/ChangeLog.Feb2013` --- and we expect that users upgrading to a new feature release do read release notes (incl. change logs) and can update their systems around MonetDB accordingly.
When using monetdbd & monetdb, these changes are hidden.

Usage: ./mserver5 [options] [scripts] --dbpath=<directory> Specify database location

Usage: /opt/monetdb-augustus/bin/mserver5 [options] [scripts] --dbname=<database_name> Specify database name --dbfarm=<directory> Specify database location
It would have been nice if the dbname and or dbfarm options were used, the user was proactively informed about the deprecation. I don't see why all in a rush a commandline argument had to be changed -- what does it fix?
Also the commit message is wrong (dbpath => dbfarm): http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=6ce49316d14f

I have to agree that these slightly often changes in the command line options are confusing for the users and not really obvious what purpose they serve (another example was the removal of the passwd option).
I agree that are minor things, but a consistency on the command line interface would have been desirable, or at least keep backwards compatibility.
that's just my thoughts.

passwd was removed for security reasons.
dbfarm & dbname were unified to dbpath to facility multifarm functionality.
We try to stay consistent and keep look&fell, but not it this means security holes or blocking progress.
