A couple more questions:
What's the reason for this restriction?
if (databaseId != MyDatabaseId)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
errmsg("cannot import snapshot from a different
database")));
Why are we using bytea as the output format instead of text? The output
is just plain text anyway, as can be seen by setting bytea_output to
'escape'. Perhaps there would be a value to using bytea if we were to
pglz_compress the result, but would there be a point in doing so?
Normally exported info should be short enough that it would cause more
overhead than it would save anyway.
