We don't have a consensus for that, so unless a few people make an abrupt turnaround, this will remain off for v18. > > * Keep the --no-statistics, --no-schema, and --no-data options. > > * Keep the --statistics-only, --schema-only, and --data-only > > options. > > * Remove the --with-statistics, --with-schema, and --with-data > > options. The other parts of the proposal are very similar with mine below: > * delete the --with-data and --with-schema options as unnecessary > * (maybe?) rename --with-statistics to --statistics > * keep --no-statistics, --no-data, --no-schema (or use "without" > instead?) > * (maybe?) keep --statistics-only > * reject the combination of an "only" option and a "with" option The main difference is whether we: (a) keep both --statistics and --no-statistics in pg_dump and pg_restore; or (b) for pg_dump have --statistics but not --no-statistics and for pg_restore have --no-statistics but not --statistics. Option (a) creates redundancies whereas (b) creates a divergence. I suppose I prefer (a), but I don't have a terribly strong opinion and if more people prefer (b) then I'll go with that.
