    That has at least as many failure modes as the other representation.


I don't follow, what do you mean with "failure modes"? The oid in the filename? I suggested to use a sequence instead but you didn't comment on that. Are there any other failure modes which could cause a diff -r between two different databases to break?

(This might be a bad idea for some other reason, but I noticed a few other users requesting the same feature when I googled "pg_dump split".)



A better approach to the problem might be to have a tool which did a comparison of structures rather than a textual comparison of dumps. For extra credit, such a tool might even try to produce a sync script for you ...

Of course, that task might involve more effort than you want to devote to it.
