Hi, I would like to work on a patch to accommodate restricted environments (such as AWS RDS Postgres) which don't allow pg_authid access since their definition of Superuser is just a regular user with extra permissions.
Would you consider a patch to add a flag to work around this restriction, Or, do you prefer that this be maintained outside core? I could add a flag such as --avoid-pgauthid (am open to options) that skips pg_authid and uses pg_user (but essentially resets all User passwords). Mostly this is better than not being able to get the dump at all. I have a fork here (a few weeks old): https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/552f4d92fde9518f934447e032b8ffcc945f12d9 Thanks Robins Tharakan http://www.thatguyfromdelhi.com/2016/12/custom-pgdumpall-now-works-with-aws.html -- - robins
