As long as all these bugs are closely related and
easy to resolve, I decided merge them into single post, not
to soil the tracker.

1. GSTAT allows inputting several database's names, but all actions
will be executed for the last one.

gstat -h localhost:employee -user SYSDBA -password masterkey localhost:help

returns header page for localhost:help instead of error message.

2. GSTAT doesn't return error message if switch -t is used without relation name

gstat -a localhost:employee -user SYSDBA -password masterkey -t

returns header info and 'Analyzing database pages ...' instead of error message

3. GSTAT doesn't return error message if switch -t is used, but only header info
is queried

gstat -h localhost:employee -user SYSDBA -password masterkey -t COUNTRY

4. GSTAT does not parse -t switch correctly, if's met before database name

Example: gstat -a -t COUNTRY localhost:employee -user SYSDBA -password masterkey
returns 'please retry, giving a database name'

If we look at dba.epp, we'll see next code

case IN_SW_DBA_RELATION:
                 sw_relation = true;
                 while (argv < end && **argv != '-') {
                     if (strlen(*argv) > MAX_SQL_IDENTIFIER_LEN) {
argv++;
continue;
                 }
                 ...
So, -t will be correctly processing, only if another switch is found later or one is the
last switch in parameter string.

To resolve this, I suppose, we need to change syntax and prohibit using
several relation names after -t switch. In other words,

gstat -a localhost:employee -user SYSDBA -password masterkey -t COUNTRY CUSTOMER

should return error.
