I want accuracy above all. -Fc doesn't do anything different with floats than text dumps do. pg_dump (in all modes) uses the extra_float_digits setting to try and get a value that restores exactly. There have been issues with this in the past (the limit of extra_float_digits had to be raised from 2 to 3, iirc), but if it's happening now then that should probably be considered a bug. -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad) -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
