Hackers,

I just thought of a good feature to put on the [E] list for TODO, if
people agree: a switch to pg_dump called "--from-list" which would take
a filename and dump the list of objects in that file.

Objections to putting this on the TODO?

Well, very little about pg_dump is very [E], IMNSHO. The question in my mind here is what format the list file will take. For example, how would we specify a function? Would we need to specify all the argument types (or at least the IN arguments)? It's not as easy as a list with pg_restore, which is just a list of TOC ids, and all the rest is just a comment in the list file.

I certainly don't think we should put this on the list without at least having the idea fleshed out some more.

cheers

andrew
