Currently, I'm not interested but this sounds like areally great enhancement! You wrote that for PostgreSQL, but I suppose adapting it to other databases or whatever would not be too much of a problem, so I suggest you post it to the wiki at http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu/wiki/doku.php or mail to the list. I'm sure that script will be helpful to many users, and I suppose it could be added to the user-contributed examples in the source code. > Note that this is definite overkill if you're okay > with doing one dump per server of all active databases.
