The issue #8032 addressed the no effect of the -d & -s parameters for the commands where applicable when using an SQLite connection.
Concerned commands:
connect
reconnect
describe
list
sqlexport
sqlimport
The fact that these params have no effect should be documented.
For instance in case of the \connect command (and \reconnect), the fact that the -auth, -ca, -ct params applly only to certain DB servers is mentioned in the manual.
Additionally, changing the DATABASE variable (\declare DATABASE=fictional_db
followed by \reconnect
) also seems to have no effect when using an SQLite connection.
Updated the man pages for the following commands that the -d and -s options are ignored if they are not supported by the connected server:
- connect
- reconnect
- list
- describe
- sqlimport
- sqlexport
- sqldump
I don't think we should put too much detail into the man pages. Each database type supports something different. If we are going to explain every single parameter for every single database type we support, we'll end up with excessively long man pages. Users should know which options make sense for the databases that they use.
For future: In our online man pages (wiki book), we could create a table to reflect which commands are relevant for which databases and have the FS man pages simply reference the link to the appropriate wiki page.

We now print a warning message if the -d or -s option is specified but server does not support it. (See Issue #8045.)
