I vaguely recall that "cpm" isn't a standard part of the command. I think it should just be "psql postgres" or something similar.

I feel like "psql_client" is not the right term; it should just be "psql." I hope I’m not mixing it up with MySQL commands.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I think it was "psql" followed by the database name, but I'm not sure about the options here.

I think the command to enter the PostgreSQL shell is something like "psql," but I can't remember the exact syntax.
