I think this could be a pg_dump option. One way it dumps out the partitions, and another way it recomputes the partitions. I think that could be well within pg_dump's mandate.

The current approach is sort of in the middle, so it makes sense to allow the user to interpret it either way depending on need. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
