How could I dump using the custom format, and then use "dumpfile" with pg_restore to restore the dump? If I just prepend the comment to the file, then pg_restore will choke, since the file won't be in the proper custom format. I would have to remove the comment before sending the file to pg_restore. Is there an easy way to do that? That can be easily automated, and not take a huge amount of time given a 4 gig dump file that must be modified?

Given those requirements, building a commenting mechanism into the custom format would work out very nicely, I think.

Thanks!
