Package: postgresql-client
Version: 7.4.7-6
Severity: wishlist
The pg_dump(1) manual page mentions:
--format=format
Selects the format of the output. format can be one of
the following:
p Output a plain-text SQL script file (default)
t Output a tar archive suitable for input into
pg_restore. Using this archive format allows
reordering and/or exclu- sion of schema elements
at the time the database is restored. It is also
possible to limit which data is reloaded at
restore time.
c Output a custom archive suitable for input into
pg_restore. This is the most flexible format in
that it allows reordering of data load as well as
schema ele- ments. This format is also compressed
by default.
SUGGESTION
Please allow using full description names with GNU long options style.
So instead of writing this into scripts:
--format=c
It would be more readable if the types would allow full words with
--long opyion syntax, like:
--format=custom
--format=tar
--format=plain-text
