But you can get a text dump out of pg_restore. Also, for testing purposes I think it's important that "pg_dump -Fc | pg_restore" generate exactly the same script as pg_dump. This is true currently (unless someone's broken it again recently) and I don't want to give up the property. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
